[edit] Teacher at Harvard

The article doesn't mention that Boris Sidis taught psychology at Harvard. --Jagz 19:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sentence removed without explanation

The following sentence was removed from the article twice by Chryen without providing a reason or explanation:
"He was a major practitioner of a particularly American version of the "rest cure," using a large compound in New Hampshire." --Jagz 00:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Whoever wrote that sentence never read anything by Boris Sidis. Sidis regarded it as "suicidal to indulge the patient and suggest to him a rest cure" [1]. Moreover, Sidis insisted that "[r]est is harmful to the neurotic" and "[w]hat the patient needs is work, work, and work" [2] to "return to a normal, active life" [3]. Thus, Sidis certainly did not employ any "rest cure" in his New Hampshire compound, making it perfectly appropriate to remove inaccuracies from the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chyren (talk • contribs).
