Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Jr., licensed clinical psychologist, researcher, and founder of the Reintegrative Therapy Association was featured on The Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse Show for a wide-ranging discussion about the complexities surrounding same-sex attraction, the implications of conversion therapy laws, and the scientific foundations for understanding sexual orientation.
During the conversation, Nicolosi discussed the Supreme Court case Chiles v. Salazar, drawing on his own clinical research and therapeutic work with individuals who experience unwanted same-sex attraction. He addressed key topics including memory reconsolidation, the distinction between emotional regulation and memory rewriting, attachment theory, the role of spirituality, trauma and shifting attractions, and related clinical considerations. Nicolosi also offered guidance for parents and emphasized the need for continued research, open dialogue, and support for individuals and families navigating these issues.
