Hi group. I'm adding in some possible articles. We had decided that adding information about a person would be a good idea. Lavendergrl66 (talk) 21:55, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
Jerome Jaffe- looked at Drug Abuse and methodone treatments during the Nixon presidency
Hermann Rorshach- Ink blot test There is little information about his life or the ink blot test article, so either are good options
Michael Liebowitz- looks at anxiety, developed his own scale, and investigates the link b/w aphrodisiacs and chemicals

Ok group.. I found some other possible articles myself. I think that Katelyn's idea of Hermann Roschach is a really good one, because that way we can incorporate his life, as well as the test he came up with, which is pretty famous. Emilyyyv 003 (talk) 16:40, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
Arnold Washton was a pretty big contributor to the field of addiction psychology and is pretty famous, but has no wiki page at all. Along with Washton is William Halsted, who contributed both to the medical field and the field of addiction simultaneously when he figured out that cocaine could be used as a local anesthetic. He worked closely with Freud. Triscuitchan (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:03, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
Also, I found Roy W. Menninger, who was an American psychiatrist.. so that could be a possibility.
Another possibility would be Andre Rey, who was a Swiss psychologist who came up with Rey-Osterreith Complex figure, as well as Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test.
All three possibilities incorporate both history, as well as famous people is psychology, so I think any of the above options would be fascinating topics to research and write about. Let me know what you guys are thinking, or if you have any additional ideas!! Emilyyyv 003 (talk) 16:40, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
So I think we should list #1 choice as Hermann Roschach and then #2 Andre Rey because then we are looking at people who both had influential contributions to sensory testingLavendergrl66 (talk) 17:04, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
After talking with Emily outside of class, we decided on the above choices
Good choice!
[edit]Hi Group 9, I was surprised to find that the article on Hermann Rorschach was so short. I thought it would be very detailed, but it's not. So you have chosen an important topic, and I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of new information to add to the article. However, I'm saying this without checking how much info is actually out there. I'm betting there's a lot, though. I'll be interested to see what you dig up on Rorschach. Your second choice, Andre Rey, could be tough. J.R. Council (talk) 01:35, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
