Slide 7
With the help of Dr. Richard C. Friedman, I developed a structured telephone interview so that it would be absolutely clear to others how we assessed our subjects. We were surprised to realize that previous sexual orientation questionnaires and measures were quite inadequate in that they usually focused on a single variable of sexual attraction or identity, so that we had to largely develop our own questions and response categories. We kept revising the interview schedule during a pilot study of 40 individuals who had been referred to us as potential subjects. During this developmental phase we asked questions such as: "What kind of help did you receive?" "What were you like before (change effort)?" "How are you different now?" "What aspects of your homosexuality remain?"
Slide 8
We developed specific questions for these key homosexual indicators. Sexual attraction during a one year period on a subjective scale that goes from 100 (exclusively homosexual) to 0 (exclusively heterosexual). The subject picks any number from 100 to 0. Lustful thoughts or daydreaming about having sex with the same sex - from never, a few times a year, a few times a month, a few times and week and every day in a one year period. Same sex fantasies during masturbation - the percent of occasions of masturbating Same sex fantasies during heterosexual sex - the percent of occasions of sex. Yearning for romantic emotional intimacy - again, from never to nearly every day. Homosexual behavior with excitement.
Slide 9
The final study interview, which I personally administered to all subjects, took about 45 minutes. I entered data directly into a Data Entry SPSS program as the interview progressed. There are 112 closed ended questions with fixed response categories, and 9 open ended questions in which I directly entered the subject's answer.Audio recordings of about a third of the subjects can be reviewed by other researchers and the entire study data set is also available.
Slide 10
When we attempted to recruit possible subjects we merely asked for individu-als who had sustained some change in homosexual orientation for at least five years. However, the actual entry criteria were more restrictive. To be accepted into the study it was necessary for the subject in the interview to report: Predominantly homo-sexual attraction...
Slide 11
In order to obtain 200 study subjects, which turned out to be 143 men and 57 women, we interviewed 274 potential subjects that we found, with great difficulty over a period of 16 months. 74 subjects were excluded, most commonly because there was a change in behavior and self-identity, but no change in sexual attraction, or the individual was not predominantly homosexual, or the change was less than 5 years duration.
Slide 12
Our 200 subjects were primarily recruited from ExGay religious ministries that offer a variety of programs to help homosexuals who want to overcome their homo-sexual feelings. And from NARTH, the National Association for Research and Therapy of Ho-mosexuality, a group of mental health clinicians and lay people who by and large regard homosexuality as a treatable developmental disorder. The "Other" was largely other subjects, therapists who do sexual reorientation Rx , as well as responses to notices of the study on the radio and in newspaper ad-vertisements. The referral source, by various means, got in contact with potential subjects who then called my office to arrange for an interview.
Slide 13
About 90% of subjects reported using more than one kind of change effort. The slide presents the answer to the question, "Which was most helpful?" The mental health professional was most commonly a psychologist (23%),or pastoral counselor (12%). Rarely a psychiatrist (3%). "Other" included repeated meeting with a heterosexual role model, often refer-red to as "mentoring," self help books or what some subjects called "spiritual work" - meaning changing one's relationship with God.

pontos :
1) Como já disse , questionamento por telefone é prática tão comum que não casou estranheza da comunidade científica , nem mereceu maiores comentários na metodologia , simplesmente é uma tergiversação ou ignorância sobre ciência . Se torna uma queixa ridícula , quando vemos que foram apresentadas
112 questões optativas ,
09 em aberto , e pediu-se uma classificação de
0 a 100 no nível de homossexualidade do entrevistado , além de questionamentos sobre sonhos , fantasias , periodicidade de masturbação com fantasias , enfim , uma batelada completa de dados , em que 1/3 destas entrevistas foi gravada e colocada sub-judice da comunidade científica, que nunca achou nada a desqualificá-la .
2) outros cuidados tomados - que a pessoa relatasse mudança a MAIS
de 05 anos , enorme prazo para este tipo de estudo , assegurando assim as famosas acusações de 'logo volta'. Que a pessoa
3) ÓBVIO que foram descartados 74 (ficando com 200) , o próprio pesquisador dá o motivo necessário - eles admitiam que mudaram sua atitude , mas não seus desejos íntimos , e então não teria o porque entrevistá-los (aí já sabe a má-fé do movimento-gay se colocasse estes na pesquisa...tsc), ou seja, a crítica só enobrece a metodologia .
4) Acabando com outra queixa simplista - embora os pesquisados se relatassem religiosos em grande maioria , isto se torna IRRELEVANTE , pois pelo menos 90% deles tentou outros tipos de terapia ,
e a maioria (23%) considerou que o maior fator de ajuda foi um PSICÓLOGO , seguido de um pastor apenas em 12% , e muito atrás um psiquiátra (3%) . Então vemos que
o suporte primário veio da própria CIÊNCIA psicológica , ainda que a religião tenha influído substâncialmente . Continuando nesta mesma queixa já desbaratada - a MAIORIA dos entrevistados , embora fossem religiosos , foram recrutados de PROFISSIONAIS terapeutas/psicólogos , e não de ministérios de igrejas .
vai até o slide 40 explicando a ROBUSTA metodologia (never antes aplicada) ... tem material na pesquisa dele para refutar qualquer questiúncula que levantarem , na tática de guerrilha de
'pegar inexistentes vírgulas , para desconsiderar o elefante, que já passou'
