I would borrow review from another person that I totally agreed with. It is so trashy that it is not worth my time to give a review.

"A Book of Cooked Statistics... couldn't even fill it's target study population.

As stated in a review by Michael R. Airhart (below), the statistics are so poor as to be unpublishable in a reputable peer reviewed journal. This book is nothing but a predetermined conclusion searching for justification but failing. 

-- The study was conducted by two supporters of ex-gay ministries. 

-- They originally sought 300 participants, but after more than a year of seeking to round up volunteers, they had to settle on only 98 participants.

-- During the course of the study, 25 dropped out, and one participant's answers were too incomplete to be used. 

-- Of the remaining 72 only 11 reported "satisfactory, if not uncomplicated, heterosexual adjustment." (direct quote). Some of these 11 remained primarily homosexual in attraction or, at best, bisexual, but were satisfied that they were just slightly more attracted to the opposite sex, or slightly less attracted to the same sex. 

-- After the study ended, but before the book was finished, one of the 11 wrote to the authors to say that he lied -- he really wanted to change, had really hoped he had changed, and answered that he had changed. But he concluded that he hadn't, came out, and is now living as an openly gay man. 

-- Dozens of participants experienced no lessening of same-sex attraction and no increase in opposite-sex attraction, but were classified as "success" stories by Jones and Yarhouse simply because they maintained celibacy -- something many conservative gay people already do. 

-- The study purposely declined to interview any ex-gay survivors: people who claim to have been injured by ex-gay programs and who have formed support groups such as Beyond Ex-Gay. Despite -- or because of -- this omission, the authors of this study make the unfounded claim that there is little or no evidence of harm resulting from unproven, unsupervised, unlicensed, and amateur ex-gay counseling tactics. 

In short, the study design was so flawed that no mainstream, peer-reviewed, mental-health journal would publish it. " (EastsideJim from Amazon.com)
