Vandalism

I have removed vandalism which had been in the article for a good year. [1]. --Minderbinder-de (talk) 10:58, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Adolph Meyer has had a huge impact upon the delivery of mental health services in America. His ideas about the Psycho-Social aspects of mental illness became the cornerstone of the Social Work Profession in America. The psycho-social diagnosis came to include Biological factors as well. His ideas in many ways have been supported by the works and writings of Ken Wilber, one of the most influential philosophical and sociological scientists of the late Twentieth and early Twenty-First centuries.

Phipps

More information on Phipp's clinic and its impact int he progression of psychiatric treatment. Also add references, sources and links on mentioned subjects. Apatera517 (talk) 20:54, 3 March 2015 (UTC) We are adding a separate paragraph under the legacy section of the article for his contributions to Phipp's Clinic.

Edits

Peer review

Nice work with the article so far.

The Further readings section has a lot of information that can be added to the body of the article. It should also be cut down in length and have external links added.

Wikipedia links should be added to the Phipps Clinic and a few other major people and institutions mentioned within the article.

The legacy section is quite lengthy, and difficult to understand. Perhaps sort it into publications, awards, appointments, etc.

In-text citations are matched with links in the Notes section. They should be in the References section.

In the information box at the beginning, is Influences and Influenced necessary? Some of the people are never mentioned in the article.

Nice job! Jdeales1 (talk) 16:37, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Peer Review

Some suggestions for your article:

• Have you read any information about his death? Usually, there's a sentence or two about the subject's death, so it could be helpful to add that to the article.
• I think the section "Ideas" could be renamed to something else. Maybe you could say "Contributions" or "Influence on Medicine"?
• When you mention William Henry Welch, you could link to his page. Here's the article for William H. Welch.

Overall, the page looks great! You guys have made great improvements. Nice job! Ahong11 (talk) 18:10, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

PEER REVIEW

Hey guys, your article looks really good so far. I would probably recommend adding either one or two more images to your page, maybe an image of meyer working at phipps. I would also recommend that in the "publications" section you could add a sentence or two describing each publication- what it was about/any important points from each, so that way we can get a sense of what meyer's publications were actually about. Other than that, good job!!! Rschwa99 (talk) 01:40, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Another Peer Review

Nice additions so far. Recommended changes/additions:

• The article is becoming a bit text heavy. Try adding a picture or two.
• The first paragraph of medical career should be broken up. Perhaps add a sub-section "Career Outside US".
• I think the "Ideas" section needs to be revised. There are minor elements of bias, and I don't think all of the statements can be confirmed with sources. Perhaps rename the section "Publications", and cite his articles.

Good job! Jdeales1 (talk) 03:15, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Peer Review

Great job so far!!

I would suggest adding another picture if you can

Maybe divide up the "medical career" section a little. Split the first paragraph up, and if you can add another subheading

I love that you have an "ideas" subsection in "legacy", I think it just needs a little more citing.

Other that these things, awesome job!!

This article has a lot of information which is really good, but there are a lot of long paragraphs that could be split up to make it easier to read. I also think you should change the title of the medical career section to early career since you talk about his later work at Hopkins in the next section. You did a good job at showing his legacy on the field of psychiatry and his ideas that influenced other psychiatric professionals. Cstauch1 (talk) 17:38, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Peer Review

I think this article is almost done. The only problem is that you have too much information in each section, so I think you definitely need to include sub-sections. Besides this, I think you have done a very good job compiling information. Structure is probably all that is necessary at this point.

The article looks great! The only things I would suggest are adding a little more info to the early career section and dividing some of the larger paragraphs into smaller ones (specifically the "Ideas" section under "Legacy.' Aside from that, good job! Devynbell114 (talk) 22:24, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
