Help embracing your self-hatred, that is. At least that's what NARTH's Dr. Nicolosi is offering Ted Haggard. The appropriate therapeutic response to self-abhorrence is affirmation, apparently. (i.e. "I hate myself." "Good. You should hate yourself.")

Considering that Haggard has struggled unsuccessfully with this all his life, according to his letter, and that even his main man J.C. hasn't offered much help, It remains to be seen what Nicolosi can accomplish with Haggard. No worries though. The usual response when "ex-gay" therapy doesn't work is to say "You didn't pray hard enough." It's no sweat to add, "You didn't hate yourself enough.
