ABSTRACT
Spitzer is to be congratulated on tackling a difficult research question in a manner that, in some ways, is superior to many of the previous research efforts in this important area. He asked more, and often better, questions of more people who have “successfully” undergone reparative therapy than anyone else. However, his study has some serious methodological limitations. Although he acknowledges most of these limitations, he may be too willing to minimize or deny their impact on the meaningfulness of his results.
