[edit] Gordon J Pownall

notable? Nateji77 15:08, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This individual has developed "Rapid Gold Repairs" and a number of other frameworks within Psychotherapy in the UK, now being applied by over 400 therapists in a rnage of dicsiplines. His work into perception has drawn acrtive discussion within the profession and he has lectured internationally in Applied Psychotherapy - I think so....

His case work with over 800 clients and specialist work with Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse has be drawn upon in teaching and developing rapid cognitive approaches to this area.

• Delete. A "gifted therapist" ? Promo. Wile E. Heresiarch 07:19, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless citations are provided. Promotional, so would need a complete rewrite, and I'd require some academic cites to accept his qualifications (and I mean real ones, not plausible looking ones that can actually be obtained by a journalist's dead cat). Google scholar has nothing appropriate for G Pownall, nothing at all for GJ Pownall, Gordon Pownall, etc. I can't find anything at all anywhere for 'Rapid Gold Repairs', so can't judge that's importance.

• Delete. For reasons mentioned above. Carrp | Talk 04:23, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• The article fails to mention what it is that he has written, no book title (S) and ISBN. He definately has not had his writings published in scientific or humanities journals, Delete.--nixie 04:33, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
