Assessment[edit]

I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and of mid importance, given his prominence within WHO. Cheers, CP 21:42, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed material[edit]

In this edit [1] I removed these 4 sentences and 3 references. I put them here in case anything useful can be salvaged from them:

"For instance, Brock Chisholm, a former director of the World Health Organization, pronounced that 'To achieve One-World Government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, their loyalty to their traditions and national identification'."^[1] -- because it is almost certainly a fabricated quote, the book is not a WP:RS
Such accusations fit into a Cold War norm in which some conservatives claimed that "a large percentage of the U.S. Communist Party consisted of 'psychiatrists, psychologists, medical doctors and social, health, and welfare workers."^[2] -- because it presents the author's opinion (about it being a "Cold war norm") as fact, and in any case is not directly about Chisholm. If it can be shown that the reference mentions Chisholm directly, it could be an added reference to the statement that some considered him a communist or subversive.
Others contended that one goal of Communism was to "dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.^[3] -- again, not about Chisholm. I think the allegation being made is that Chisholm was using his profession to advance communist goals, but I can't see the reference to check. Again, if it can be shown that the reference mentions Chisholm directly, it could be an added reference to the statement that some considered him a communist or subversive.
Some lumped Chisholm among other Marxists and Communists "behind the scenes," including: Wilhelm Wundt, Otto Gross, Wilhelm Steckel, Max Horkheimer, Erich Fromm, Wilhelm Reich, Kurt Lewin, Herbert Marcuse, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Robert Owen, A.S. Neill, Havelock Ellis, John Rawlings Rees, Sigmund Freud, Antonio Gramsci, Anatoly Lunacharsky, and Georg Lukacs.^[4] -- because this list of supposed "behind-the-scenes" communists is getting off topic. I have kept the ref though, because it supports the claim that some think/thought he was a communist.

Unitarian? Agnostic?[edit]

What is the basis for the categorization of Chisholm as "Unitarian"? If it exists, it should be added to the article. If not, it should be removed. Same goes for the categorization "agnostic". 2601:547:500:E930:B56E:987C:7639:9ADA (talk) 02:37, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
