Several studies by Ames (1997), Gladue (1990), and Meyer-Bahlburg (1995) conclude that there is a critical period in a fetus’ development that predisposes the person to be attracted to a particular sex later in life. This critical period has to do with the brain’s neural-hormonal control system. So female fetus’ that were exposed to testosterone were more like to become lesbians later in life, while male fetus’ that were exposed to increased levels of estrogen hormone were more likely to be gay.
Everything psychological is simultaneously biological.

As future helpers it is important to know theories and techniques that can help people but it is also important to know the bible and what it says about mental health. The bible is full of verses that can be comforting to someone dealing with mental pain. Take the following verse from Matthew 11:28-30.
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30.
If you are a practicing psychologist or counselor, and you know of any other bible verses or experiences that you have had helping people please feel free to share.
