First entry for Otto F. Kernberg --CloudSurfer 00:08, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Major restructure of categories. Go to Category:Psychiatry and then follow the disorder subcategory to see the new structure. It follows DSM but not all the names are the same. All the psychiatric disorders in the list Mental illness (alphabetical list) have been allocated a suitable category with the exception of sadism and masochism since there does not yet appear to be an article on the disorders Sexual sadism and Sexual masochism. I didn't want to offend any BDSM types out there. --CloudSurfer 21:28, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Please note that I have created Category:Symptom and Category:Sign (medicine) as subcategories of Category:Medicine. Please add these categories to any symptoms or signs. I believe some deserve both, such as Euthymia. Anyway, see what you all think. --CloudSurfer 21:37, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Ganser syndrome new article. It's short so if you feel like adding to it, go for it. --CloudSurfer 08:29, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I have listed Personality as a page needing attention. It reads like student "cram" notes, not an encyclopedia article. --CloudSurfer 09:35, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Added "Current Thinking and Criticism" section to personality disorder. Am very poor at wikifying and am afraid to click on any of the buttons, my apologies. CloudSurf, can you please help me? Also, as my contribution to the topic may be controversial, I welcome any comments, modifications, additions, deletions, etc. Samvak 10 Oct 2004

I have added a table to the article on mental illness that shows the categories. Please have a look and see whether you think this is a good idea. If it is then we can use that for each of the categories. --CloudSurfer 06:40, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It's a great idea. CloudSurfer, can you help with Anti-psychiatry? See my comment below.Samvak 14:36 12 Oct 2004

Added section "Challenging the concept of mental illness" to Anti-psychiatry. Tried to wikify with very modest success. Any help would be highly appreciated. Again, as my contribution to the topic may be controversial, I welcome any comments, modifications, additions, deletions, etc. Samvak 15:04 11 Oct 2004

Wrote stub about eating disorder not otherwise specified, cleaned up disordered eating and body dysmorphic disorder. Sietse 11:01, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

An article about "pathological schizophrenia" has been nominated for deletion. There is not yet a consensus about whether this article should be deleted or not. Comments from people who are familiar with psychopathology might be helpful. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Pathological Schizophrenia. Sietse 11:15, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Added some new articles: John Allman, Biological psychiatry, Peter Breggin, California Mental Health Services Act, Chemical imbalance theory, Holonomic brain theory, International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology, New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, Whitehall Study, etc. Not sure if there is an interest here, but psychopathology issues arise in several new articles related to the Autism epidemic.

First version of reduplicative paramnesia - Vaughan 16:53, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi all. Interested for input and attention to the following: Institute of Psychiatry Maudsley Hospital Logorrhoea - This could do with splitting into two separate pieces; one on rhetorical use and one as a symptom of mental illness. Unsure how to do this correctly myself... Beck Depression Inventory Long-term memory semantic memory Labile affect Dissociation

Cheers! --PaulWicks 10:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Moved Emotional mood to Mood (psychology) to create consistency w/ Affect (psychology). Major re-write forthcoming. Mjformica 13:31, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Major overhaul of DID intro. --Mjformica 00:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

My overhaul continues, not without ruffling feathers. User Zora is convinced that the article is POV, and errs on the side of the psychiatric establishiment. Anyone care to comment? --Mjformica 18:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Continuing... --Mjformica 03:05, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Could we have another pair of eyes (or more!) at Conversion disorder please? Thanks! --PaulWicks 16:16, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Though it might not be strictly Psychology I think the Bully article could currently benefit from a little gentle, objective, supervision from editors with a good, solid, academic grounding in psychology before it gets out of hand --Zeraeph 14:54, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Rewrote the anorexia nervosa page. - Vaughan 09:57, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Beck Depression Inventory has been promoted to "good article" status. Talk page includes a "well done" from Aaron Beck. --PaulWicks 10:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Assessment of suicide risk is a stub with major need of work. It has a list of "factors associated with suicide risk". There are no citations, and its accuracy has been disputed. Aleta 08:36, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

There is a stub with a bare couple sentences about Andrew Solomon. Aleta 08:36, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Rage (emotion) needs serious work at best, and has been proposed to be made into a redirect to Anger. Please take a look at it and the talk page and comment on the proposed redirect. Is there anything salvageable? Aleta 08:42, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
