ABSTRACT: "Sexual behavior is analyzed as a complex
social episode composed of alternating instrumental and
respondent behaviors. The type of sexual consummatory
behavior selected by an individual is mainly a function
of the type of stimuli eliciting sexual arousal and
penile erection. A therapy was designed to alter the
arousal eliciting stimuli for nine male same-sex men by
classical conditioning techniques."
SUBJECTS: 9 males
METHOD: Aversive classical conditioning with shock
RESULTS: At 18 months follow-up, 7 continued exclusive

Roper, P. (1967) The effects of hypnotherapy on
homosexuality. Canadian Medical Association Journal. 96:
Feb., 11: 319 - 327
ABSTRACT: "Fifteen same-sex men were treated with
hypnosis. The patients were selected from a general
psychiatric practice and had a long history of confirmed
homosexual behavior and showed no evidence of organic or
psychotic illness. The type of hypnotic induction
attempted in all cases is described. In those where a
satisfactory depth of hypnotic trance was achieved a
change in sexual orientation was suggested to the
patient."
CHANGE: "Before therapy, each patient was assessed using
the Kinsey scale. Results were evaluated in terms of the
patient's subsequent behavior and his subjective feelings
. Of the 15 patients, three showed no improvement, four
showed a mild improvement and eight showed a marked
improvement. There as a significant correlation between
the depth of hypnosis achieved and the therapeutic
outcome. Those patients who reached a deep level of
hypnotic trance were most likely to show a marked
improvement. There were no significant correlation's with
other factors such as degree of homosexuality as measured
on the Knsey scale and the patient's marital status."
"Treatment of same-sex men with hypnosis may produce more
satisfactory results than those obtained by other means.
The best results are likely to be achieved with patients
who are good hypnotic subjects." The deeper the hypnosis
more likely improvement.
SUBJECTS: 15 males
METHOD: Hypnosis
RESULTS: 3 no improvement; 4 mild improvement; 8 marked
improvement.

SUBJECTS: Individuals who want to change same-sex
preference
METHOD: Psychotherapy - short term intensive
intervention
RESULTS: Failure rate after intervention - 20.9%, after 5
year follow-up - 28.4%
CASE: 25 year-old-man had first same-sex experience at 13
arranged by lesbian mother with older gay man. Complete
change of orientation.
RELIGION: "A common situation is that of the man who
accepts the Biblical dictum that homosexuality is a sin.
He feels guilty each time he has a same-sex experience.
No matter how the man is encouraged to understand the
unfolding of his homosexuality, he says, "Yes, but it is
a sin." Such a man may be helped to 1) realize that there
are different theological interpretations of the Bible,
2) understand that he is using his religion to castigate
himself, or 3) see that he is playing games with his
religion by using confession as permission to do what he
considers to be a sin. Restricting of the belief that
homosexuality is a sin is necessary before the man in
therapy can make heterosexuality a "want-to" rather than
"have-to" goal. (178)
CHOICE: "... to ignore the goals of clients who want to
change their preference is both paradoxical and
prejudiced. The paradoxical messages is "You are a
same-sex and have to learn to live with it," which is
contradictory to a major research finding of the last
decade: Homosexuality is simply a descriptive term
applied to a person who has a preference for same-sex
romantic and sexual consorts.
"The Institute does not subscribe to the concept that all
homosexuals could or should establish heterosexual
intimacy. This in not, however, because homosexuality
causes in some people and is therefore resistant to
change. The current position is that if and when
demonstrable biologic influences are firmly established
there is no evidence that they will systematically affect
prognosis in therapy. Environmental influences may be
demonstrated to be equally influential or non influential
in polarizing sexual development."
CHANGE: "Beyond low levels of patient motivation and
unattractive or disturbed partners, there are no secure
indicators of poor prognosis for therapy. We have not
found that presence or absence of previous gay or
heterosexual experience or imagery can affect prognosis
in a predictable way. Attention is focused on improving
therapists' skills rather than identifying certain groups
of patients as poor risks. In the absence of secure data
or well established prognostic indicators, it is obvious
that the strongest positive predictor of successful
conversion or reversion therapy is the patient's
rejection of homosexual identity and an unambivalent
desire to pursue heterosexuality." (180)

CASE: Use of reeducation and assertiveness training in
the successful reorientation of two gay men. In one case
the authors describe a 22-year old man whose same-gender
sexual experience began at age 14. The client had begun
to consider himself exclusively same-sex and viewed
counseling as his last possibility before accepting this
conclusion. The counselor suggested to the man that he
may have been "premature in assigning himself to the
group of permanent homosexuals" and that the man's
same-sex activity " was chiefly drive by a wish for
friendly companionship with other men. After 10 sessions
of encouragement of assertive behavior, the client
terminated with plans to marry. The man reported
heterosexual adjustments at a 3-year follow-up.

CHANGE: One of the first studies of the treatment of
homosexuality. Used hypnosis on 70 male patients. The
hypnotic suggestion consisted of commanding the patient
to suppress perverse practices and ideas, to think of
perversion as repulsive and to think of heterosexual
objects as attractive. This mode of treatment seemingly a
forerunner of modern behavioral therapy, was reported to
achieve 37.5 per cent cures and another 34 per cent
improvement. The criterion of cure was the patient's
ability to have heterosexual intercourse.
METHOD: Collected data from a number of different
psychiatrists of 27 patients treated with hypnosis, 21
had a "cure" or great improvement of these, 19 reached a
deep or moderate depth of hypnosis.
