The external links were those originally placed in the Hyman Spotnitz article by someone else also relevant here. I am new to Wikipedia and not familiar with all of the procedures here. I understand the need for rules and consistency. We have a disagreement about how they are applied in this case, though given the short time spans involved (a few minutes) it doesn't seem that you or Siobhan have taken the time to carefully consider this.

I will read the suggested WP:EL and WP:WELCOME. I was not trying to be unfair to you Siobhan; it is not easy to know who is doing editing on these articles or what purpose they are doing it for when you are new to this system. I am concerned with modern psychoanalysis only and was particularly concerned that the existing articles contained so little information and then were further cut to delete other information. My comments were made based on the edits that took place over a short period of time (not enough time to carefully examine the sites) and not meant to be taken generally. On the contrary, I think you should be commended for your time and dedication to this task. Modanalyst 17:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
I appreciate that, Siobhan. Unfortunately, there is a great lack of information on the web about Dr. Spotnitz or about modern psychoanalysis. I will try to become more accustomed to your rules and contribute more to these articles in the future. Modanalyst 23:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
adambrower here, trying to whup this thing into shape. i've removed the peacock tag because i believe there's no more peacockery afoot. i've added one ext link to a short paper on the narc. defense which seems to me accessible to the general public & concise. also added a line about the controversy in psych circles about Mod Psych generally and edited out some of the puffery. am searching for something definitive crediting spotnitz with founding Mod Psych although afaik there's no other claimant.-- Adambrower 00:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
the field of psychoanalysis is controversial, and modern psych is controversial *within* that field. i have removed an anon edit by someone with an axe to grind against mod psych because i believe wikipedia is an improper venue in which to vent one's personal feelings. i don't know how to prevent such abuses, but i wish anyone who edits would identify themselves, and of course refrain from using this article as a soapbox.

Hi--Michael Dow here. Someone who does not identify themselves (to my knowledge) continues to revert my editing out of the claim that "many psychoanalysts believe that modern psychoanalysis does more harm than good." This is an outrageous claim, and is wholly unsubstantiated. It defaces the article and is non-encyclopedic. It's an unsubstantiated opinion. It's fine to mention that more studies of modern psychoanalysis are needed or that there is no evidence of its efficacy. But this claim needs to be removed or substantiated. What's more, I have said this in my edits, and not been responded to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.77.110 ( talk) 12:31, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
