	The American Psychological Association's "Resolution On Appropriate Therapeutic Responses To Sexual ...
		NARTH has seen that the main reason clients seek change from homosexuality is not, as the A.P.A. states, anti-gay social pressure--but dissatisfaction with a gay lifestyle.
		NARTH would like to see the A.P.A.--which is rightfully concerned about scientific accuracy--take a responsible role to correct the very widely disseminated, popular misconception that homosexuality is genetic.
		We urge the APA to enter into communication with NARTH to establish a well-designed, scientific study to measure pathology associated with a gay lifestyle, and the effects of psychoanalytically informed, reparative therapy on a client's self-esteem, self-understanding, unwanted sexual behavior, and same-sex fantasy.

	Exodus International - NARTH - National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality
		NARTH is the only secular group of psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors providing psychological therapy to homosexuals who desire to modify their sexual orientation.
		It should be emphasized that while NARTH strongly defends its positions – and its distinguished members do so regularly on television and radio talk shows – it respects the right of self-identified gay men and women to live their own lives as they wish and, as well, to receive gay-affirmative therapy.
		NARTH is a non-profit corporation, funded largely by private donations, with a small but dedicated staff whose professional members work on a volunteer basis.

	Narth Classic
		The concept of Narth at this stage was a naturally-formed planet inhabited by races that at least had the appearance of evolving in their various environments -- gnolls and humans in the local analogue to Africa, elves and orcs in "Europe", and so on.
		Narth as it exists today is as much the work of my players as it is mine, and they have my eternal gratitude.
		Narth is the work of nearly 20 years of continuous development as of 2002; it would be impossible to put everything here, at least at first.

	Bully for NARTH at The Republic of T. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		NARTH Scientific Advisory Committee member Joseph Berger said on a blog in reaction to a San Francisco Chronicle article on gender identity issues, “I suggest, indeed, letting children who wish go to school in clothes of the opposite sex - but not counselling other children to not tease them or hurt their feelings.
		The hairsplitting about saying that NARTH didn’t “advocate bullying” but simply recommended that bully “not be stopped” when it comes to these kids is the worst kind of abstractionist bullshit; the kind that literally ends up costing lives.
		NARTH’s Dr. Berger would almost certainly push some kids over the edge that I narrowly avoided, if his recommendation were to be applied.

		Different Paradigms The debate between NARTH and gay activists within mental health professional organizations is not simply an argument over how to treat same-sex attraction, as important an issue as that is. The debate constitutes a struggle for the conscience of the mental health profession: a battle between two radically opposed paradigms.
		NARTH has long pushed for a public forum in which the questions surrounding reparative therapy could be discussed and it appeared that, through the intervention of Dr. Spitzer, that day would come.
		NARTH feels justified in claiming to have prevailed, since failure of one side to appear is generally regarded as a victory by default.

		I was talking to narth in IMs and she told me this, and quite frankly I agree with her.....so I am going to post this because I was asked to....I will however edit the bad words.
		The problem was that Narth was taking it considerably more seriously than everyone else was (plus had bleach in her hair, and wanted everyone to hurry up).
		Narth feels that people were insulting, and ruined the occasion, and thus has left the forums.

		NARTH discredits the APA, despite the latter’s proven success in its use of psychotherapy and its recommendation of medicinal treatments for what we understand to be physical mental ailments.
		NARTH is not a specifically religious group, although their members have written many articles (available on the NARTH site) regarding how their religious views have impacted their professional assessments.
		Also, it’s been said that some of NARTH’s patients are as young as three years old, and that they utilize treatments such as aversion therapy which uses physical pain or illness to condition those being treated to learn to reject their impulses.

	T&A: Gay parenting, mentoring
		NARTH, headquartered in Encino, CA, professes that homosexuality is not inborn, and that gays are not an ethnic group, but instead are individuals who exhibit patterns of feelings and behavior, which is not conducive to raising children.
		On NARTH's website, the organization states, "Try as they might, gay couples cannot model the three important relationships that are crucial examples to children at home: that of a husband and wife, mother and father, and male and female.
		NARTH says research published in 2001, by "Professors Take Issue With Gay-Parenting Research," shows daughters of lesbian couples dressed, played, and behaved in ways that do not conform to sex-typed cultural norms when compared with heterosexual couple's daughters.

		Sure, NARTH says (and Bulka agrees) that homosexuality is not a "healthy, natural alternative to heterosexuality." This is proven, he goes on to say, by the fact that many gays want to be heterosexual.
		When NARTH removed Dr. Berger's awful suggestions that gender variant kids whould be ridiculed and teased, they "apologized" and explained that they posted his article because they "didn't know what the guidelines were" for dealing with such kids.

		The National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), formerly the National Association for Research and Treatment of Homosexuality, is a non-profit organization dedicated to "affirming a complementary, male-female model of gender and sexuality".
		NARTH claims that it has become "politically incorrect" to make even the suggestion of a dialogue that opens up the question of the normality of homosexuality.
		He states the reason they formed NARTH was in response to "censorship of a politically unpopular position." NARTH argues that there is today a widespread propaganda in favour of normalizing homosexualily in law and education.

		NARTH is a coalition of psychologists who believe it's possible to "cure" homosexuality, a position rejected by the American Psychological Association and the American Medical Association.
		On the NARTH website, the section marked "NARTH and Civil Rights" states: "It is NARTH's position that science, not activism, should inform legal decisions and public policies," a position that could easily be read to support Schoenewolf's hostility towards the civil rights movement.
		NARTH's position statement is particularly ironic in light of the organization's close relationship with Focus on the Family, which clearly engages in political activism.

		NARTH's publications director, Linda Nicolosi, says because there is no basic agreement on what constitutes such things as "healthy sexuality" and "healthy families," the situation simply involves two philosophical groups -- the APA and the traditionalists -- disagreeing with one another.
		In addition, NARTH explains why it believes the APA working group that made the recommendations is not exactly unbiased.
		A fifth working group member, NARTH says, is a deaf lesbian who, along with her deaf "partner," was profiled by the Washington Post in Spring 2002.

		He’s also uneasy that NARTH rejects even the possibility of a fulfilling life with a same-sex partner.
		At the upcoming conference, Throckmorton had hoped to persuade NARTH therapists to adopt the approach he uses, which is to help patients find harmony between their sexual identity and their religious values.

	Warren Throckmorton: Dr. Joseph Berger's statements on the NARTH website retracted
		From the outside looking in, it appears the reason NARTH won't say that is because NARTH isn't ethical enough, or humane enough, to publicly admit Dr. Berger's statements were wrong, and say that in plain view of NARTH's proponents and detractors.
		He was not aware of the sneaky revision of Berger's article, but said he would remove the article entirely from the blog and tell his bloggers WHY they had decided to remove the article.
		Nicolosi is the president of Narth and highly respected in the field.

		And there exist reputable professional associations such as NARTH, which, unlike the American Psychiatric Association in its Diagnostic and Statistics Manual version IV, does NOT hold that homosexuality, sadism, masochism, and pedophilia are OK unless the agents suffer anxiety attacks.
		NARTH also didn’t give a forum to homosexual authors in its most prestigious journal to proudly proclaim that "child sexual abuse is nothing more than intergenerational intimacy, and that parents should welcome the loving pedophile into their homes", which is what the American Psychological Association did in its Psychological Bulletin.
