Spitzer's study revealed 200 men and women who have experienced a significant shift from homosexual to heterosexual attraction and have sustained this change for at least five years. Spitzer was a leading figure in the 1973 APA decision that removed homosexuality from the official diagnostic manual of mental disorders. Now, says Spitzer, his views on homosexuality have changed. Like most psychiatrists, I thought that homosexual behavior could only be resisted, and that no one could really change their sexual orientation. I now believe that to be false.
Some people can and do change.
About 44 percent say that homosexual behavior is the product of upbringing and environment. She seemed to be quite a hardy person. I can have a lot of emotion for that.
