Lies That Bind is written with an unusual authority by psychologist and psychoanalyst Thomas Domenici who, in addition to being homosexual, works extensively with gay youths, teens and young adults, as well as treating child molesters and victims of sexual molestation. Lies That Bind uses the format of a novel to lay out and illustrate the issues of a young gay boy coming to terms with his same-gender sexual orientation who can no longer play the "I'm-not-gay" game with his family that has resulted in severe depression. Lies That Bind is also about a young gay teenager embracing his reality, healing emotional wounds, and ultimately obtaining a social and more comfort zone and acceptance. Of special note are the embedded messages for the reader as to the process sexual predators and molesters use to lure gay boys. Lies That Bind is a superbly written and highly recommended caution regarding the dysfunctional consequences of trying to change a child's innate, biologically driven same-sex gender preference.
