If the person participating wants to work through it, there will be a much better chance of success.

That's it in a nutshell. Same is true for just about all mental health interventions.

Yes, we’re in agreement on that.

Forcing someone into a self-help program is not my idea of a good thing to do either. It won’t be successful, and it’s an invasion of people’s right to do as the please. (drunk driving/excepted)

I don’t agree with the lifestyle, but it’s an area where others could be forced into something too, like for instance political re-education.
