[edit] Commented out

“

His interest in psychology began when his sister Eunice committed suicide, because of the issue of depression.[citation needed] Todd had thought he had cured her, multiple times, but she still had episodes. and when she had to attend to a large farm in empty Vermont alone, she was pushed over the edge. This began his theory that mental retardation (insanity at the time) was a disease and had a cause and possibly a cure. This began his revolutionary treatments, and what made the government give so much money for the mental hospital to be built.

- commented out from article.

The assertion that his sister committed suicide due to depression, which then prompted his interest in mental health, is too big an idea to be unsourced. If a source is located then by all means restore it, but without it, it should be excised. ♠PMC♠ 19:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

After a brief copyedit to clean up a few minor issues, I think the article meets the Good article criteria. It is well written, well-sourced, informative, and interesting. The lead could be expanded a bit, though. Also, does he have any publications? A listing of publications he authored might be worth adding to the article as well.
