looks like someone tried to make an update to the site and made a mistake. Likely they moved a pointer to where the content was actually stored. It’ll probably be back up on monday.

I couldn’t help but notice that all of the content on NARTH’s web site has disappeared. It’s been missing for at least 24 hours.

Jason – You a little behind the times – this was in 2006 – but anyway glad to have your comments.

I take strong exception to your view that NARTH is the only source for therapy regarding SSA issues. In fact, I see the organization as a pretty biased and misleading source. And in fact it is too bad that political issues dominate NARTH. Take a look at the website and you will find NARTH fighting all kinds of political battles.

There were two SIT conferences since 2006 but they were not open to the public. I think you are right that we should do that. Watch this space because if the SIT folks ever organize a conference, it will be announced here.

Thats sad to hear, the NARTH Conference is the only place in the earth to find good resources about SSA therapy. For example we travel each year from latinamerica.
Meanwhile you discuss about “doctrinal issues” between NARTH and therapist a lot of new therapist get lost without new approaches like Sexual Identity Therapy Framework and this impact of course in a lot of clients that can be benefit with frameworks like this….

Its very sorry that political issues are still dominate prior therapeutic agenda.

At least you should try to organize a Conference

I meant to type a more intelligent response to this, but it’s getting very late, and I have school early in the morning tomorrow.

Still, I wanted to say that even though we hold very different views when it comes to gay therapy, I give credit where credit is due, I thank you for speaking up against this paper. It should not be condoned by anyone, considering the atrocities it trivializes.

Don’t let what people are saying keep you from doing the right thing!

I’d like to share my story. I was born in Kenya as a missionary kid and brought up in a strong evangelical church. I graduated from Oral Roberts University and I’m gay. The greatest challenge of my life was to accept myself as a gay man when I had been brought up to believe that being gay is unnatural, among other things. Although my family remains completely unsupportive after almost 16 years of knowing my sexual orientation, the dignity and strength that I’ve gained from SELF-acceptance has been invaluable.
