Attachment therapy

Hi Joseph. I'd love you to come and discuss this on the talkpage. As you can see - the article has a very chequered histroy. So far I've distinguished AT from attachment based therapies that focus on increasing caregiver sensitivity. If there is another strand of attachment based therapies from the field of psychoanalysis, could we have a source for this and some idea of the age range it is appropriate for. Should it go in the section on mainstream therapies down at the bottom. Also, could you take a look at the Child psychotherapy page where I have started adding a section on attachment based therapies. There were two psychoanalytic based therapies already on the page for children. Look forward to working with you, but please come and discuss, as there was a long history of abuse by attachment therapists on this page so we need to try and keep it well sourced and tight.

Actually it wasn't me that reverted most of it - but the procedure is to discuss when making significant changes. Many would not agree that the major source of attachment based therapies is the field of psychoanalysis so we need to make exactly what we are talking about clear in the article. If you go to the article and click on the 'discuss' tab at the top of the page, that takes you into the talkpage. The conversations go on at the bottom of the page. You will see JeanMercer has already made a comment about psychoanalysis.

On the other issues of sources - Cassidy and Shaver is a perfectly good source. It is good practice, however, to include the chapter and page number. This enables the reference to be checked by others. I appreciate you may not realise this but mis-citation of sources has been a significant problem on all attachment related articles, and elsewhere on Wiki too. It is the responsibility of an editor putting in a source to be prepared to justify that source by identifying it right down to the particular passage if necessary.

Look forward to hearing from you on the talkpage. Don't hesitate to ask if you need any kind of technical help or anything.Fainites ^barley 23:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh - to talk to me - click on the 'barley'. For anybody - just click on their user name and then click on the discussion tab. Or click on the second little bit of their user name if they have one. Fainites ^barley 23:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
