 * The article should not be speedily deleted because there is a previous version of the article available that does not, as far as I can tell, appear to be a copyright violation. - I have deleted the speedy delete tag. If there are still concerns about the copyright status of the current page (that is, if there is no verification of Modanalyst's claim above) the article should be returned to that stub form (which obviously still needs some help, but we're a work in progress :-). -- SiobhanHansa 18:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

general fixup
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)

anon edits removed
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.

Does more harm than good
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)
