Psychophysical Therapy

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article was largely created by a dubious source, originally in Q&A form, and describes a dubious form of therapy which I can't seem to find any good sources on. I attempted to fix the article but I really can't see any way of keeping the article and having it adhere to WP:NPOV. I think it's important to discuss whether this article belongs on Wikipedia.  —Entropy (T/C) 00:34, 23 November 2011 (UTC) Further investigation has turned up that the starter and main contributor of this article is User:PTGAadmin, and I have a strong suspicion that PTGA stands for Psychophysical Therapist's Guild of Australia. If so, that account is meant solely to advertise the PTGA and their invention of "psychophysical therapy". That also means this page is just a cleverly-disguised advertisement.  —Entropy (T/C) 06:03, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. An alternative therapy meant to resolve blockages to your aura, or "bioenergy field".  The underlying concept is one that has been invented several times and offered under several different brands.  We should have an article on the underlying concept, but we do not need an article on every new brand or method that comes along. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:59, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I could not find any reliable sources to establish this concept as either medicine or WP:FRINGE - unlike similar but better known energy-field "therapies" such as Therapeutic touch. --MelanieN (talk) 16:07, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
