Relevance
Ian Parker is one of the leading figures in critical psychology, editor of the only online journal (Annual Review of Critical Psychology), co-founder (with Erica Burman) of the internationally-known research base Discourse Unit, and has produced 17 books on critical psychology and psychoanalysis. He is a keynote speaker at the upcoming European Congress of Psychology, and is recognised internationally as a key figure in the discipline. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jean Redmass (talk • contribs).

The page has been updated to include critical responses which show the impact of Parker's work, and this should now also show why it is important that there be an item in Wiki about him. Hope this does the trick. Jean Redmass 15:58, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it would have been helpful if you could have provided specific references for all the points you make Jean. A cursory search on Google however turned up this from Manchester Poly's website: http://www.rihsc.mmu.ac.uk/staff/profile.php?surname=Parker&name=Ian  I assume it is the same Ian Parker but there is no biographic content there either.
 * Personally I have to add that I find the "update", of a mere reading list in a "critical response" section, disdainfully unhelpful as a Wiki entry. If whoever made these entries considers them worth making for some reason,  then they should describe the content in them that makes them so, including the periodicals etc themselves as in-line references, in the normal manner.  In my opinion, as they stand, they serve so little purpose here that they may as well simply be deleted.

Reference citations needed
This article makes assertions about the importance and impact of Parker's thinking, but there are no in line citations (with page numbers) that substantiate that he has been widely influential. The article would benefit from the addition of reference sources. Regards, — mattisse  (Talk) 17:20, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Suspension
Trying to get to the bottom of this stub I seem to have discovered, in a Greek online journal/blog, that he was suspended from Man Met U one month ago, apparently for "gross professional misconduct". http://criticalpsygreece.org/2012/10/06/suspention-of-ian-parker-international-protest/

I have found it impossible to find any references online to any third party peer work commentating on Parker's work, but there seems to be a strong relationship between Parker's work and "Marxist Pschology". Parker has published many articles, most of which appear to be "polemic".
