Talk:Emotional dysregulation

the

"the inability, or more properly the failure, of an individual to respond" The middle section of this sounds like it's POV. I'm not well-versed on this particular subject, so I'm not going to change it, but I think this should be more thoroughly explained (and sourced) or deleted. — Icarus 00:22, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

How about using this as a lead sentence for the article: "Emotional dysregulation is a term used when an individual does not respond to a person, place, thing, or event in a manner that would generally be considered within the normal range of emotions"? Would that be sufficiently NPOV?

However, I am not a mental health professional, so I'm not going to change the lead sentence for the time being, either. — Diamantina 20:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

As a mental health professional, I think it is fine as it is. RalphLender 21:37, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I've added some material to more fully define the term DPeterson 19:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone else think this page gets very repetitive, especially towards the end? Aroundthewayboy 03:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Link to CPTSD

Emot. dysreg is a core component of Complext PTSD and so I added material relevant to that linkage along with citations to support the statements DPeterson^talk 00:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

DDP

I have removed Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy from this page. This little known therapy has been extensively advertised on Wiki as evidence based, sometimes the only evidence based treatment for a variety of disorders affecting attachment. (Theraplay, also little known and not evidence based has also been advertised in this way.) A range of attachment articles including attachment therapy are currently before ArbCom. In the course of ArbCom it has transpired that of the 6 users promoting DDP and Theraplay and controlling these pages, User:DPeterson, User:RalphLender, User:JonesRD, User:SamDavidson, User:JohnsonRon, and User:MarkWood, the latter four are definitely socks and have been blocked, and the other two have been blocked for one year. The attachment related pages are in the course of being rewritten.Fainites ^barley 20:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Update - all 5 are now indefinitely blocked as sockpuppets of DPeterson, and DPeterson has been banned for 1 year by ArbCom.[1] Fainites ^barley 19:41, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Update 2 - User:AWeidman, AKA Dr. Becker-Weidman ^Talk and Dr Art has now also been indef. banned for breach of the ban on his sockpuppet DPeterson.Fainites ^barley 16:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

References

Could the people who referenced journal articles please provide page numbers?Jean Mercer 20:34, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

References need page numbers

It is not enough just to name a book or article. The reader must be able to check the source by going to the page number. --Mattisse 17:11, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Removed part that made it sound that use of defense mechanisms was inherently pathological

Defense mechanisms are used by normal people in a normal way all the time. It is their pathological use that is the problem. --Mattisse 17:17, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
