I read a lot of papers on Schick Shaddel and they use aversion
therapy using apomorphine for 4 to 6 weeks and then psychotherapy.
They claim to have treated 70,000 successfully.

I found it very interesting that they do not treat women cuz they
found them too emotional nor do they treat young men, single men or
divorced men as they foumd them too immature and irresponsible.

They have had great success with married men over 45 years with a
history of employment.

I found it interesting that they admit the limitations of their
success.
