Psychosystems Analysis???

edit

Perhaps I am just ignorant, but I have never heard of the entry for 1989 - the creation of "Psychosystems Analysis" by "Steven T. Richards". Is this just a spam entry from someone hoping for some free advertising, or is this a legitimate entry on the same level as Freud, Jung, Adler, Rogers, et al? I would appreciate some comments. We can and should delete this entry if this form of psychotherapy is not notable enough, no matter how well intentioned it is. —Aetheling 20:49, 4 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

A Google search for <<Steven Richards psychosystems>> yielded a grand total of five hits, all of them referring to a single book (Care of Persons, Care of Worlds: A Psychosystems Approach to Pastoral Care and Counseling [1992], written by Larry Kent Graham). Nothing on Steven T. Richards.

A Google search for <<psychosystems analysis>> yielded 290 hits, but nothing to indicate that this is a notable form of psychotherapy. On the contrary, it appears merely to be an approach to pastoral counseling, with little or no claim to fame.

Therefore, I have removed this entry from the Timeline of Psychotherapy, on the grounds that is at best non-notable, and at worst just spam. —Aetheling 22:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
