Responding to Anti-Therapy Hit Pieces by Mother Jones & Religion Dispatches (with Rosik and Vazzo)

Attacks are on the rise against my colleagues and myself, who offer counseling to people seeking help with unwanted same-sex eroticization and gender identity conflicts. In today's video, I chat with Christopher Rosik and Robert Vazzo, two fellow board members of the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice & Scientific Integrity, about a couple recent defamatory articles, one by Mother Jones and one by Religion Dispatches.
