Harlene Anderson (Assignment Four)

1. The main issue I can see with this article is the lack of citations, which comes along with the lack of information in general since this is a stub article. When I looked at the talk page, it appeared that the last major change was taking out information that lacked a citation and suffered from run-on sentences, so I believe that this article could be vastly improved with the addition of more resources.

2. I have found some good resources, such as an article that reviews Harlene Anderson's book "Conversation, Language, and Possibilities: A Postmodern Approach to Therapy" that I found in The Southern Communication Journal. This source describes the main points of Dr. Anderson's book and looks critically at the approaches taken within it.

Another useful resource that I have found is another article from the Journal of Family Therapy. This article is a critical response to Harlene Anderson's articles about Carl Roger's and the application of his approach to family therapy.

3. I have a couple questions for you! I am able to find countless articles and books written by Harlene Anderson, but I am having a much more difficult time finding information about her and her personal life/biological background that is from a secondary source.

'''A well-known person like her would have received rewards and recognition. Usually there's an article in a journal like American Psychologist when that happens. Look on her publisher's website for author information. '''

Do you have any advice on how to sift through or exclude articles written by Dr. Anderson using Google Scholar? Also, since I am finding so many articles written by Dr. Anderson, should I begin compiling a list of her works to include in my wiki article or would this not be the place for that?

'''You don't need to read all of her writings, but you could list representative books and journal articles. You should at least read enough of her work to summarize her major contributions. ''' J.R. Council (talk) 20:44, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Assignment 6
Harlene Anderson (born 1942) in an American Psychologist and a cofounder for the Postmodern Collaborative Approach to therapy. In the 1980's, Anderson and her colleague Harold A. Goolishian began researching a new technique used to relate to patients within therapy through language and collaboration, and without the use of diagnostic labels. This approach to therapy places the patient in control of the therapy session and asks the therapist to focus on the present therapy session and ignore any preconceived notions they may have. This approach was first developed for the use of family and mental health therapy, but has since expanded into a variety of professional practices such as organizational psychology, higher education, and research.

Anderson received her doctorate in Psychology from the Union Institute and University in Cincinnati Ohio. After that, she became a cofounder of the Houston Galveston Institute, The Taos Institute, and Access Success. She has won three awards throughout her career for her contributions to theory development, as well as innovative practices and training. She currently works as a consultant for businesses, schools, and individuals and is a keynote speaker at the Taos Institute and Houston Galveston Institute conferences for family and marriage therapy.

Dr. Council's comments:
This is a nice start on the lead. However, it is a bit too detailed. Some of this can be presented in the main article. For example, you could just say in the lead that she's won several professional honors, and give the specifics in the text. J.R. Council (talk) 01:07, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

'''This looks great. Just a couple of changes to suggest.'''
 * 1) See if there are Wikipedia articles on  Postmodern Collaborative Approach and Goolishian. If so, link to them.
 * 2) I think that the second paragraph could be deleted and the information presented in the main text of the article.
 * 3) Please make these changes and go ahead with developing your article. J.R. Council (talk) 06:39, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

She went on to receive her Doctorate in Psychology with a focus around Marriage and Family Therapy from Union Institute and University which is located in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Research
In 1997, Anderson published her first book based around her theory around collaborative therapy called "Conversation, Language, and Possibilities: A Postmodern Approach to Therapy". This theory, called the Postmodern Collaborative Approach, focuses on therapists collaborating with their clients in a non-judgmental way to ensure that the client is being accurately understood. Outside of therapy sessions, therapists must continuously go through a process of self-reflection and self-awareness so as to avoid the innate judgmental nature of humans from clouding their own opinion of a future therapy session. Within therapy sessions, therapists take on a conversational role with their client and view the client as the expert in the conversation rather than themselves. Contrary to other therapeutic approaches from the time, the postmodern collaborative approach requested that therapists do not use diagnostic labels either since these may have preconceived notions and opinions behind them which may alter a therapists' view as well.

J.R. Council (talk) 20:35, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Very nice work! This is essentially ready to publish to the Wikipedia main space.
 * 2) The only thing you should change is to cut down the list of publications. Just pick out some that seem most important, e.g., look for top-tier refereed journals. Title the selection, "Representative journal articles." After you do this, let me know and I'll ask Ian at Wiki Ed to give it a final check before green-lighting it.
