Dr. Gerard van den Aardweg is an internationally renowned psychotherapist, specializing in the treatment of "homosexual people". Born in Holland in 1936, Catholic, married, father of seven children, he obtained his doctorate in psychology at the University of Amsterdam in 1967, with the dissertation: Homosexuality and homosexual pedophilia as sexual neuroses (empirical analyzes). His therapies consist in the mental treatment of homosexuality, on the basis of an effective synthesis of psychology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis; in the more than documented belief that homosexual tendencies originate from neurosis, often due to a deficient development of the personality (that is, an underdevelopment of masculinity / femininity). Over the course of fifty years, he has brought many homosexuals, both male and female, back to normal. In addition to numerous articles and interviews, he has published three books in the United States, translated into various languages: On the Origins and Treatment of Homosexuality: A Psychoanalytic Reinterpretation, 1986, Praeger, New York / Westport (containing the analysis of approximately 200 treatments) ; Homosexuality and Hope, Servant Books, Ann Arbor 1985; The Battle for Normality: A Guide for (Self-) Therapy for Homosexuality, Ignatius Press, San Francisco 1997. The second appeared in Italian: Homosexuality and hope, Ares, Milan 19993; and the third: A road to tomorrow - Guide to homosexuality self-therapy, Città Nuova, Rome 2004.
