Abandonment recovery movement, initiated in 1999?
This article refers to an Abandonment recovery movement which is not substantiated in the citations and has no Google reference other than to the book and author or references to the book and author. It might be better defined and an advocacy of the book/author which would need recognition by credible third parties before being encyclopedic. Removed text quoted below: Wiki-psyc (talk) 22:26, 2 August 2015 (UTC) "Abandonment recovery movement An abandonment recovery movement, initiated in 1999, promotes awareness about abandonment and its remedies. The treatment protocol specific to abandonment trauma incorporates the psychoanalytic principles of separation therapy and the findings of ongoing studies of mindfulness/compassion training and its impact on the brain, as well as research on the psychobiology of separation, attachment, helplessness, traumatic stress, addiction, social rejection, exclusion, grief, psychodynamic and cognitive therapy techniques and other areas. Abandonment recovery encompasses a program of abandonment therapy techniques and exercises, targeted to treating the primal wound of abandonment and its aftermath of self sabotaging patterns. Abandonment recovery workshops provide experiential training sessions in which participants perform a program of abandonment therapy techniques designed to facilitate incremental emotional and behavioral change.

Contributors to the abandonment project People reach to out a worldwide abandonment community from the United States, Canada, South America, Japan, Korea, Australia, Germany, Spain, France and other parts of the world through a commercial website. Individuals have the option to contribute to ongoing abandonment research through an informal process of making confidential submissions to an abandonment website. They are asked to describe their current abandonment scenarios, childhood primal scenes, and/or patterns of self-sabotage that developed as automatic (if maladaptive) responses to the underlying abandonment wound. The submissions are added to a confidential data base of personal testimonials from individuals world wide."

Citations do not substantiate the concepts
Many of the inline citations do not substantiate the text or more importantly, the major points of the article. [First citation], not Abandonment (emotional). Wiki-psyc (talk) 22:26, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Major clean up
This article was a mixed bag of ideas that went far afield of the concept of "abandonment". It might be best to start over. The article has been labeled a stub and removed the banner tags.

Concepts related to a broken heart were relocated to Broken heart. Concepts related to Susan Anderson were relocated to Susan Anderson (psychotherapist). Wiki-psyc (talk) 21:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Lead Paragraph
The Lead paragraph is lacking in substance, and does not outline what the rest of the article will be discussing. There are parts of the lead paragraphs that are never mentioned again in the article. For example, the last sentence states "Emotional abandonment has been a staple of poetry and literature since ancient times." This either needs to be taken out and replaced with more relevant information, or there needs to be a subtopic added to support this sentence. --JoRoberts1 (talk) 19:35, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The organization of the whole article is also very messy and needs to be reorganization to help the reader understand the topic fully.

The third paragraph of the introduction ("To fully understand emotional abandonment, we will delve into factors such as ...") looks more like text lifted from a book than part of an encyclopedic article. 203.23.239.198 (talk) 08:18, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Inaccurate
The statement that emotional abandonment is [only] a subjective state is manifestly not true. Why can it not also be the objective reality? 122.151.210.84 (talk) 01:18, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
