Achieving Heterosexuality by Marie Davidson Pdf

Besides giving an in-depth overview of the science behind the Ex-Gay phenomenon, Davidson removes the veil that has kept ex-gays swathed in privacy. Testimonials from around the world reveal the mental, spiritual and therapeutic journey out of the gay mindset. Each confirms the science of mindful change --- how neuronal pathways of the brain can actually die with non-use and, with the right focus and protocols, be replaced with new pathways. Indeed, Ex-Gays not only confirm the science of neuroplasticity in regards to attraction but also confirm what the Bible teaches about transformation:TRANSFORMATION INVOLVES THE RENEWING OF THE MIND."Some tell me that my journey is extraordinary. In reality, I do not believe it is. After much reflection, I now see that my early life was very similar to that of a multitude of same-sex attracted men, and yes even some women. The difference is this: I was unknowingly at first given the freedom, and took it, to open a door that enabled me to scratch well below the surface of my conscious mind and to think outside the box of what have now become mainstream society's beliefs about sexual orientation."Excerpt of James Parker's Testimonial (AUSTRALIA)"Then, I realized that my fear of abandonment was the root cause of my same-sex attraction. The memory of my three-year-old self, watching my mother with my sister...and my perception of her abandoning me returned. It was as if a light switch had been flicked on. God had unzipped me of all of my anger now. It was over. I can see now, that I was battling for my soul."Excerpt of Jennifer Thorne's Testimonial (USA)"People I knew in the lifestyle died, got sick or changed in a frightening way. That's what happened for those with lots of sex partners and broken relationships...This is when I started praying ...Well, no angels singing, no Hollywood-like miracle right away. Then I saw a religious program on TV and called their "Hopeline." I chatted with someone who gave me the link to Homosexuals Anonymous. HA had an online program, and I enrolled. I thought my same-sex attractions were immutable. Now I know better." Excerpt from Robert Gollwitzer's Testimonial (GERMANY)"This book is beautiful and so needed. I see this very thing in the SSA patients I see. They are stuck developmentally. The real issues are psychological, emotional and spiritual and should be addressed." Kathy, LPC"Marie Davidson has written a powerful antidote to the propaganda of genetic homosexuality being perpetrated in our secular culture and prevaricating psychotherapy community. Much of my personal life journey from angry atheist lesbian to grateful Christian Ex-Homosexual is reflected in these pages along with the stories of many others from around the world. Davidson's book is an inspiring testament to the hope and healing available to all and to the thousands who have been freed from homosexuality through the grace of God and the power of Jesus Christ." Robin Goodspeed, Christian Ex-Homosexual,President, Voice of the Voiceless.infoAbout the Author:Marie Davidson, M.Ed. witnessed the daily struggles and depression in some of her same-sex attracted students. She helped prevent a suicide by helping one student get treatment, but there was nothing she could have done to help a student who died of AIDS complications at age 21. Davidson wrote this book to show those with unwanted same-sex attraction that they can heal from past hurts and become who they were meant to be.

Cultural Foundations of Political Psychology (Clt) by Paul Roazen Pdf

Over the centuries all of the great philosophers made psychology central to understanding social life. Indeed, the ancient Greeks thought it impossible to conceive of political life without insight into the human soul. Yet insuffficient professional legitimization attaches to the central importance of modern depth psychology in understanding politics. Cultural Foundations of Political Psychology explores the linkages between psychology and politics, focusing on how rival conceptions of the good life and unspoken moral purposes in the social sciences have led to sectarian intolerance. Roazen has always approached the history of psychoanalysis with the conviction that ethical issues are implicit in every clinical encounter. Thus, his opening chapter on Erich Fromm's exclusion from the International Psychoanalytic Association touches on a host of political matters, including collaboration as opposed to resistance to Nazi tyranny. Roazen also brings a public/private perspective to such well-known episodes as the Hiss/Chambers case, the circumstances of Virginia Woolf's madness and suicide, and the matter of CIA funding of the monthly Encounter. He deals with the reaction to psychoanalysis on the part of three major philosophers--Althusser, Wittgenstein, and Buber--and looks at the link between psychology and politics in the work of such political theorists as Machiavelli, Rousseau, Burke, Tocqueville, Berlin, and Arendt. A chapter grappling with Vietnam and the Cold War illustrates how political psychology should be concerned with questions of an ethical or "ought" character. In examining the social and psychological bases for political theorizing, Roazen shows how both psychology and politics must change and redefine their methodologies as a result of their interaction. Roazen concludes with a chapter on how political psychology must deal with issues posed by changing conceptions of femininity. This volume is a pioneering exploration of the intersection of psychology and politics. Paul Roazen is professor emeritus of social and political science at York University in Toronto. He is the author of The Trauma of Freud: Controversies in Psychoanalysis, The Historiography of Psychoanalysis, Freud: Political and Social Thought, Encountering Freud: The Politics and Histories of Psychoanalysis, and Brother Animal: The Story of Freud and Tausk, all available from Transaction.

Medieval Romance and the Construction of Heterosexuality by L. Sylvester Pdf

This book interrogates our ideas about heterosexuality through examination of medieval romance narratives. Familiar configurations of romantic fiction such as male desire overwhelming feminine reluctance and the aloof masculine hero undone by love derive from this period. This book tests current theories of language and desire through stylistic analysis, examining transitivity choices and speech acts in sexual encounters and conversations in medieval romances. In the context of current preoccupations with gender and sexuality, and consent in rape cases, this study is of interest to scholars investigating language and sexuality as well as those researching and teaching medieval literature and culture.

Getting It, Having It, Keeping It Up by Beth Montemurro Pdf

Scholars and social critics are looking at gender and sexuality, as well as masculinity, in new ways and with more attention to the way cultural ideologies affect men’s and women’s lives. With the rise of an online “incel” (involuntarily celibate) community and the perpetration of acts of violence in their name, as well as increased awareness about the complexities of sexual interaction brought to the fore by the #metoo movement, it has become critical to discuss how men’s sexuality and masculinity are related, as well as the way men feel about the messages they get about being a man. Prior research on masculinity and masculine sexuality has examined the experiences of adolescent boys. But what happens to boys as they become men and as many move away from homo-social environments into sexual relationships? What happens when they no longer have a crowd of peers to posture or perform for? How do their sexual experiences and sexual selves change? How do they prove their masculinity in a society that demands it when they are no longer surrounded by peers? And how do they cultivate sexual selves and sexual self-confidence in a culture that expects them to always already be knowledgeable, desiring sexual subjects? In Getting It, Having It, Keeping It Up, Beth Montemurro explores the cultivation of heterosexual men’s sexual selves. Based on detailed, in-depth interviews with a large, diverse group of heterosexual men between the ages of 20 and 68, she investigates how getting sex, having sex, and keeping up their sex lives matters to men. Ultimately, Montemurro uncovers the tension between public, cultural narratives about hetero-masculinity and men’s private, sexual selves and their intimate experiences.
