Jeffrey Burke Satinover (born September 4, 1947) is an American psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and physicist.
He is known for books on a number of controversial topics in physics and neuroscience, and on religion, but especially for his writing and public-policy efforts relating to homosexuality, same-sex marriage and the ex-gay movement.
[6]) Satinover was quoted as stating that once he saw the testimony of one of Hill's main critics, John Doggett, he concluded the idea was invalid.
[10] He is managing director of Quintium Analytics, LLC, a proprietary investment advisory company he founded in 2007.
Satinover is a member of the scientific advisory committee of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality.
[17] He said that "The state of Florida wanted me to argue that the reason the ban should be upheld was because homosexuals made bad parents and I refused to do that.
In a hearing before the Massachusetts Judicial Committee in April 2003, he testified that homosexuality is not immutable and that the social environment plays an important role in sexual orientation.
[20] Organizations that oppose the expansion of LGBT rights and protections have frequently cited his research in their position papers.
