Richard A. Cohen
Richard A. Cohen (born 1952) is an author, and promoter of conversion therapy.〔 Cohen founded Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and was its president, and founded the International Healing Foundation and promotes his theories on sexual orientation change efforts for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. Cohen, who lived with a gay identity in his youth, underwent years of psychotherapy in an attempt to heal childhood issues which he felt had led to his homosexual feelings. He says that his therapy and personal growth helped him to understand his same-sex attractions, and to eventually transition to heterosexuality.
Cohen lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife and has three adult children.〔 His foundation, the International Healing Foundation, offers psychotherapy, coaching, teleconferencing classes, and healing seminars for members of the LGBT community and those with unwanted same-sex attraction.
==Biography==
Cohen has described a troubled childhood that regards as the causes of his homosexuality later in life.
While attending Boston University, he became an evangelical Christian, and he later joined the Unification Church (which rejects homosexual behavior),〔(THE UNIFICATION CHURCH AND HOMOSEXUALITY ) B.A. Robinson, Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance 2005〕 where he says he remained celibate for long periods.〔 In 1982, Cohen married Jae Sook, a South Korean woman suggested to him by church leader Sun Myung Moon. Cohen says that, during the first three years of his marriage, he underwent psychotherapy but was unable to find the help he needed, and therefore he found some healing with a boyfriend in New York.〔(Richard Cohen ), ex-gaytruth〕 Cohen describes this time as a period of turmoil that led him to pursue healing from his past.〔Cohen, R. (Coming Out Straight ). Retrieved on 04-07-2007.〕
