Exposure of Richard Cohen ex-gay 'cuddling therapy' causes rift

Another weird therapist with his bogus techniques, link include video from CNN

Cohen's methods have raised some questions, however; and he has lately taken sharp criticism over a May 23 appearance on Cable News Network (CNN), in which he demonstrated a technique that involves cuddling a male client in his lap. Another of the unusual therapy techniques depicted involved a client hitting a pillow with a tennis racket while shouting the name of a parent or other individual who elicits painful childhood memories.
Of course, there's in fighting between the various celebrities in this arena. Oh joy.

Of course, the witty folks ar Fark.com described the original story this way:
"Formerly" homosexual Christian psychotherapist cures patients' unwanted homosexual tendencies with cuddling. Nope nothing suspicious about that
There is a major controversy regarding Christian Psychotherapists and their claims to "cure" people of homosexuality. Both sides of the discussion have a loaded agenda.
