The page for Stanley Graham (psychologist) completely mischaracterizes his career. He never sought publicity, but this does not diminish his achievements nor change his long-held positions. He was the co-founder and long time director of the Fifth Avenue Center of Counselling and Psychotherapy which was for many years the largest community mental health clinic not affiliated with a hospital. He was the long time director of the Greenwich Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies which trained many of the psychotherapists in the New York City area. He was president of at least two divisions of the American Psychological Association.

The page, as it stands, mischaracterizes him as being in favor of short-term therapy. All of his contemporaries in his field know that he was in favor of long-term therapy. So much for referenced information.

Frankly I am outraged by your deleting information which is true and which certainly should be on the page, and at the same time leaving information which is misleading. I understand Wikipedia's policy for removing unreferenced information which could be challenged, but I think the policy refers to material which could reasonably be challenged, not material that could unreasonably be challenged. If this is allowed to stand, it says more about Wikipedia than it says about my father. XjerNewYork (talk) 01:54, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
