 * The article itself says that dissociative amnesia is controversial, and that many psychologists do not accept its existence, believing it to be a mere rebranding of the pseudoscientific idea of repressed memories. That's why it is important to emphasize that it is an alleged condition. 92.41.117.239 (talk) 19:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Dissociative amnesia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. ''I assume that you were referring to the reference cited first in this article. As far as I can tell, it mentions no such thing as this being "controversial" or potentially pseudoscientific,'' Actualcpscm (talk) 20:04, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * I checked again and see that you probably meant the Wikipedia article itself. It is in fact important that Wikipedia gives the proper weights to different theories, in accordance with their prominence in reliable sources. However, it appears to me that the majority of reliable reporting has accepted dissociative amnesia as a disorder that exists, and its controversy is more so with the underlying mechanisms. Describing it as an alleged disorder gives WP:UNDUE weight to the fringe theory that it does not exist as such. Actualcpscm (talk) 20:06, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * As you should be aware, the field of psychology is filled with pseudoscientific theories for which there is no empirical evidence. If you are going to maintain that dissociative amnesia is a real thing people can have, then in the article you should list actual empirical examples of people forgetting things purely because they don't want to remember. Otherwise stop pretending that this is anything more than speculation. 92.41.117.239 (talk) 20:11, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
