? (re Melody Beattie)[edit]

Untitled[edit]

I made a crticism of the Melody Beattie page citng a book by Dr Stan J, Katz and Aimee E. Liu.

My contribution is as follows:

Criticisms[edit]

Dr. Stan J Katz and Aime E. Liu are co-authors of the book The codependency Conspiracy In which they criticize the self help movement and Melody Beattie in particular for defining a compulsive behavior (Codepndency,drug and Alcohol addiction etc) as a disease.

This was removed by the user "Scarpy". This person cited my comment as "original research".

The book I cited is NOT original research. It is written by an Actual Doctor. Something Melody Beattie is NOT.

The book (as well as others I will cite in the future) is still in publication

[1]

The criticism is valid AND IS NOT ORIGINAL RESEARCH. I request that it be undeleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loki654 (talk • contribs) 03:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, someone's a sour puss. No! No no no. We're not letting you have your criticism section. So there. Bleh! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.33.237 (talk) 12:23, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
