Non-notable therapist who seems to have invented a form of therapy which only he and his supporters have written about. Note that Hakomi is also nominated for deletion. Corvus cornix 23:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep / Merge - he has published papers that have been used as citations examples obviously written books as per the Bibliography on the article (that needs expanding) Fosnez 03:43, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - This is odd. I just added a bunch of references to Hakomi. Hakomi meets WP:N so you would expect its founder to meet WP:N as well. I only found two sentences of info on him in Johanson, Gregory. (June 22, 2006) Annals of the American Psychotherapy Association. A survey of the use of mindfulness in psychotherapy. Volume 9; Issue 2; Page 15. My guess is that he gave Hakomi out for free use by others instead of building his empire around it like other gurus would have done. Sorry Ron. Perhaps hire a better press agent. -- Jreferee t/c 08:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
