Statement of the dispute
''This is a summary written by users who dispute this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.'' User:Shotwell is editing the article Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy when there is a dispute regarding the content. He has filed a request for comment, which is fine...but now he is making changes in the article that no one but he wants. This is not conducive to dispute resolution or in accord with Wikipedia dispute resolution procedures. The dipsute is that he is not satisfied with the verifiable sources provided for statements in the article that the treatment is evidence based (there are several studies cited in professional peer-reviewed publications stating that the approach is evidence-based. These are empirical studies.

In addition, he has now begun to label everyone involved as a sockpuppet in apparent retaliation for a question being rasised about his relationship with user Sarner.

Description
''{Add summary here, but you must use the section below to certify or endorse it. Users who edit or endorse this summary should not edit the other summaries, other than to endorse them.}'' User:Shotwell is editing the article Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy when there is a dispute regarding the content. He has filed a request for comment, which is fine...but now he is making changes in the article that no one but he wants. This is not conducive to dispute resolution or in accord with Wikipedia dispute resolution procedures. The dipsute is that he is not satisfied with the verifiable sources provided for statements in the article that the treatment is evidence based (there are several studies cited in professional peer-reviewed publications stating that the approach is evidence-based. These are empirical studies.

In addition, he vandalized several pages when he accused several editors of being "sockpuppets," in retailiation for a question being raised about his relationship with Sarner, another disputant in this issue and on several other pages together with Shotwell Candace Newmaker, Advocates for Children in Therapy, Bowlby. Another user's status as a sockpuppet for Sarner was raised by the mediator in this case. ...User:Shotwell appears to be abusing Wikipedia policy and has filed a vindictive request regarding sockpuppet because a question was raised regading his relationship with User:Sarner in these disputes. The mediator found his filing the charge provocative and inappropriate: See link:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-10-07_Advocates_for_Children_in_Therapy#Discussion RalphLender talk 17:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Your actions may be construed as vandalism. At the least they are an act of bad faith.  The Mediator involved in the case has labeled your act as unacceptable. "That was COMPLETELY unjustified. I think this shows that you will do almost anything to keep the article from the majority of editors.
