Joseph Nicolosi, Sr., Ph.D., passed away in 2017 at the age of 70, after a long career working with thousands of men who came to him with unwanted homosexuality. Dr. Nicolosi was the originator of Reparative Therapy(TM), a U.S. Patent Office trademarked term. Reparative Therapy(TM) is not to be confused with the generic concept of conversion therapy. Dr. Nicolosi was the founder and Clinical Director of the Thomas Aquinas Psychological Clinic, the largest such practice in the country. He was also co-founder of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH). Dr. Nicolosi received his training at the New School for Social Research and the California School of Professional Psychology. He is the author of Reparative Therapy of Male Homosexuality; Shame and Attachment Loss; and A Parents' Guide to Preventing Homosexuality, as well as many professional journal articles. A frequent lecturer, he also made numerous television appearances (see www.josephnicolosi.com).
