1. A Parent's Guide To Preventing Homosexuality
This book argues that parental influence and early family dynamics can predispose children to develop same-sex attractions and that those outcomes can be prevented through deliberate parenting strategies, strengthened parent-child attachments, encouragement of gender-conforming play and peer relationships, and therapeutic interventions aimed at changing attractions; it presents case examples and suggested clinical techniques framed as corrective measures, a viewpoint that has been widely contested and discredited by major medical and mental-health organizations.
