Talk:Traumatologist

Honestly, I vote for this page to be more or less completely rewritten. The Church of Scientology etc has nothing at all to do with Traumatologists! --Johan M 20:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

As you are a physician, you are in a far better position to judge the necessity of that than I. The reference to Scientology is a single sentence and so I don't think it is a dominent aspect of the article. I was merely referencing a fundamental belief of a religious group that is related to trauma recovery. As you are new here, let me encourage you to a belief of wikipedians to improve, as opposed to just deleting everything and starting over. The article is only short, and if you could see a way to greatly expand it that would be great. (MaxMangel 10:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC))


 * Except that the article never should have been created in the first place, since Traumatology already existed, and the only "information" that this article gives us that isn't already contained there is unsourced and dubious. I'm being bold and redirecting. -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:22, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * 'Unsourced'? There are no more citations in Traumatology than there was in this one. The information contained within was verifiable enough. As for 'dubious,' well...you're probably right. MaxMangel 01:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, anything that you think can be verified and should be added to Traumatology, please add it there. However, the claims made here, that "A Traumatologist is someone trained to work with people who have just suffered extreme trauma, be that physical or emotional", conflicts with the contents of Traumatology, which says nothing about emotional trauma, and the mention of the Church of Scientology with its implication that the CoS is somehow a reputable source as regards traumatology, make this a POV fork. -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * As for whether Traumatology covers the issue of mental trauma, type 'traumatology' into google and look at the first link. As for your second point, I did not in any way imply that CoS was reputable - I merely provided a small detail of their teachings. The facts are that the word *does* cover mental trauma, and CoS *does* have, as a central part of their teachings, the resolvement of personal mental traumas. Expect a bold edit to Traumatology.
