Talk:Dick Price

Sources and tone
Rather than placing numerous cite tags, I've added a single template at top for inline cites-- none currently exist. There are numerous claims, some anecdotal, others substantial, that require specific support. It's a good article, though inclined to a memorializing tone, which will benefit from further editing.

 * Given this explanation, the need for objective sources is underscored. JNW (talk) 06:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

I am one of the family members and I thank you for your diligence on this. I believe it will substantially improve the article - and has already done so with the new inline citations. I know the substance, thus far, to be true but absolutely recognize the need for it to be credible and objective. It does need to maintain the WIkipedia standards of NPOV and there are more appropriate forums for specific tribute pages - this needs to be the facts. metaluna1 (talk) 07:50, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

'class' rating
This article seems developed well beyond the assigned "stub class" rating e.g."Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition". As I didn't assign the rating, I don't feel it would be proper for me to change but it looks like a reassessment is due. Likewise, the low importance classification does not appear objective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.5.123.216 (talk) 12:59, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Claim, not fact
I modified the statement "unique form" etc. This is a claim which cannot be held up if you have a closer look at the so-called Gestalt Practice. Indeed it is not much different from the original Gestalt Therapy and cannot claim "uniqueness". Friedhelm, Germany --79.228.27.177 (talk) 10:47, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * This article hardly lists reliable sources, as far as claimed differences between Gestalt Practice and Gestalt Therapy, on which "Gestalt Practice" evidently is based to a large extent, are concerned. Friedhelm, Germany --79.228.20.122 (talk) 12:08, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Eventually, this page was bound to attract critics. Do not be discouraged. Dick Price did important work, and random abuse must not deter you from documenting his life. Let me encourage the authors of this article. Psyanalyst (talk) 00:04, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * This is adequate criticism, not "abuse". This is an encyclopedia with certain standards and a special form, including the use of reliable, objective sources and keeping to the facts. Friedhelm, Germany --79.228.59.3 (talk) 11:33, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Callahan: 'Manual ...'
The book is questionable. The book does not cite any sources in the actual text, and there is no bibliography of the basic sources that were used.
