Responsibility assumption

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I came across this because I was looking at article with old original research tags (July 2007), and there's certainly a great deal of OR here, but looking it over, I'm not sure it meets WP:GNG. The article contains no in-line citations. A Google News search for the phrase turned up nothing. A regular Google search doesn't seem to turn up any reliable sources, and if you filter out mentions of WP, most of the results appear to be liability wavers using the phrase "Release from Responsibility, Assumption of Risk, and Waiver". A Google books search brings up one book (the "Existential Psychotherapy" listed as a reference in the article) with a sub-chapter called "Responsibility Assumption and Psychotherapy" (22 pages of a nearly 500 page book), but the rest are passing mentions of the phrase. The other non-fiction book cited in the reference section, A Course in Miracles, also showed up in Google Books in a seperate search for that, but searching in the book returned no mention of the phrase "responsibilty assumption" at all in it. That one book doesn't seem like enough to me. Egsan Bacon (talk) 15:25, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

*According to the article, the relevant essay was reprinted in the third addition of Current Psychotheraphy, which is a standard college text. The current (10th) edition of this work still has a 34-page extract from Existential Psychotherapy. But it no longer mentions this subject. So the subject may have have been reasonably notable back in the 1980s, but later dropped under the radar.
