It read as an advertisement of what you could expect upon engaging the good doctor's services. I would be more inclined to leave a serious discussion of his methods if they were referenced from established texts (or referenced at all).--Bookandcoffee 03:37, 21 September 2006 (UTC)


I understand how the original article may have created this impression. However, Jay Haley has made a serious contribution to the subject and the views attributed to him can be found in numerous books. I believe Bookandcoffee's intervention is a little drastic, and I suggest the original material could be reinstated but in an improved style. --RichardVeryard 21:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death

Do we have an official internet source for his death? I can't find any obituary anywhere. What is the WP policy about reporting death without verifiable source? --RichardVeryard 02:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
