Koplewicz encourages parents to spend time with their kids to foster psychological health, but believes mental health disorders in children are typically caused by genetic and biological factors, as oppose to emotional trauma or poor parenting.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Comment: This is a quote within a quote. To include this information please give the original source for the quotation. Normally this would be OK, but Deborah Norville is not an expert in this area enough to trust that what she says Dr Koplewicz said is actually what he said. Unless the conversation happened on the Today Show, which in that case she would be a journalist, and it would be acceptable. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 14:57, 10 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

According to psychiatrist Peter Breggin, Koplewicz's attitude goes against “common sense, clinical experience, and a mountain of research about the harmful effects of child abuse on later adult life."^[2]

Comment: Why, in a section on Koplewicz's views, do we need to hear another person describing them? If this is the case, why then isn't the paragraph titled Views according to Peter Breggin Spintendo ᔦᔭ

In his book, More than Moody, Koplewicz advances the view that each case must be treated individually by showing examples where different types of treatment were effective or ineffective in different cases.^[4]

Comment: I would add this sentence to the article, but without the other material, it sits alone with no where to go. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 14:57, 10 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

On second thought, it doesnt makes sense to add it without the Breggin criticism first, which makes me wonder (a) why the passage is being requested and (b) what is the nature of the COI. Please advise. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 15:30, 10 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
