[edit] question

Where is what I have placed here in print? If this is your standard, then what is already written here is in violation, as the criticism is taken directly from Wayne Besen's book. --IHF06 14:12, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

The material is posted to this webpage [1] and this one [2]. If material is copied verbatim from a book that would also be a problem. Regardless, please don't overwrite one version with someone else's words. Instead, please work to improve the existing text. -Will Beback 18:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I have changed the website to reflect a more unbiased picture of Mr. Cohen. Several things on the site were completely false, and others simply slanderous. Cohen has never used "rubberband therapy"; the new version of his book does not have a foreward by Dr. Laura; the quote by Wayne Besen is slanderous and, at best, taken out of context; I have no way of knowing whether or not the Wesleyan denomiation practices nude psychotherapy, but this is, at best, irrelevant, and Mr. Cohen never had any knowledge of it while he was in the denomination; Cohen did not do change seminars for the unification church; and he does not advocate that there are only 2 causes of homosexuality. Thank you for maintaining a non-slanderous site.

Please discuss this at talk:Richard Cohen (therapist), not your user talk page. -Will Beback 00:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
