How Groups Work: Coming out of a gay identity and becoming one of the guys (Refs)

The War on Psychotherapy: When Sexual Politics, Gender Ideology, and Mental Health Collide is Mr. Doyle’s first book. Dr. Michelle Cretella’s superb preface to the book is worth the purchase price. Regarding transitioning and the institutions which promote it in children, Cretella says, “These harms constitute nothing less than institutionalized child abuse.” In the forward, Dr. Michael Brown makes it clear that Doyle is approaching this issue from a Christian viewpoint. Doyle, who fifteen years previously experienced a shift in his sexual orientation, proclaims, “As a licensed psychotherapist, I have dedicated my life’s work to helping individuals and families come to terms with their sexual and gender
identity and be able to understand how to make choices in their sexual behavior without compromising their personal and spiritual values.”
