Books, Arts & Manners: To Cure or Not to Cure

Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth, by Jeffrey Satinover, MD (Baker Books, 266pp., $17.99)

THIS book is must reading for the millions who, thinking themselves compassionate, have recently come to endorse homosexuality as a legitimate alternative expression of man’s sexual nature. Dr. Satinover’s approach to the question is intriguing because he is, at once, a psychiatrist, a man with an unusual interest in the science that underlies his practice, and intensely religious. This is a clinician who speaks like a highly sophisticated Old Testament prophet and rejects morality based on Freud as fraudulent. He uses “the politics of truth” to refer both to honest science and to God’s word.
