Promotional page largely sourced to self-published sources. Mentions elsewhere are trivial or in unreliable sources. Does not meet WP:GNG or any other notability standard. —Ganesha811 (talk) 12:39, 11 May 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Keep Agree this is promotional, but it has many hits in GScholar going back 20 yrs, seems to be an accepted form of therapy. GScholar hits discuss how it works etc. Oaktree b (talk) 15:41, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Google Scholar is a good place to search for sources for such topics, but the number of hits there is not necessarily indicative of notability. I looked at the first five or six hits and they all seemed to be from unnotable journals and written by the same group of researchers. Is there anything better further down the results? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:39, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Google Scholar certainly casts a very wide net, including unpublished and un-peer-reviewed theses. (Note: I'm not saying that any of the articles in question here fall into that category!) I should point out that at least a few of the articles in question appeared first in The Journal of Imago Relationship Therapy. I can't find a lot of information on how independent that journal was from the theory's initial proponents and backers. If anyone else can provide more context for that it would be helpful. —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:01, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4575684/ I get that one via pubmed, this one in a Turkish journal (less about the therapy itself) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15095118/ Oaktree b (talk) 16:03, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Clicking on "Author information" for the first of those doesn't exactly inspire me with confidence. When it was published both authors seem to have been working for commercial counselling organisations rather than universities or major teaching hospitals.
