Dr. Maddow did two interviews with regards to this particular issue. The first was with Mark Benjamin who went undercover to expose the level of fraud within the ex-gay movement. Later on, she went on to interview Richard Cohen of the International Healing Foundation. Mr. Cohen spent much of the interview smirking despite the fact that he was being ripped to shreds by Dr. Maddow and her excellent research team.
