scott its not psychotherapy. Minnesota allows non liscensed practitioners. Marcus bachmann has no training from any recognized grad school. He has not passed any professional certifications like the apa liscensure. Moreover the therapy he practices does not work. even the best study that looked at this therapy found that only about 8 of over 360 graduate of exodus International and similar reparative therapy approaches showed any change from homosexuality to heterosexuality. And there is a lot of criticism of this study - no independent measue of whether the subjects were actually gay.
