Paste of discussion from talk category deletion[edit]

Category:Psychodynamic psychotherapy[edit]

Category is almost empty, and this topic does not, and will not in the foreseeable future warrant a separate category. meco 21:12, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete category that is redundant to Category:Psychoanalysis. Doczilla 00:07, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and populate, or as a poor second choice, merge to Category:Psychotherapy. Note that psychodynamic psychotherapy is a very different process to psychoanalysis. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and merge to Category:Psychotherapy, I don't think this category is necessary. leontes 16:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It should properly be moved to Category:Psychodynamics and the related terms such as regression (psychology), psychic energy, drive theory, id, ego, and super-ego, entropy (psychology), and probably at least a dozen others that could stand to be written, should be added there as well. Here’s a quick description to psychodynamic psychotherapy that I just found. From the books I have read and own, psychodynamics, i.e. psycho (mind) + dynamics (thermodynamics), is the theory, found in many forms (most of which derive from Freud and Jung), and psychodynamic psychotherapy is the application of the theory used in clinical practice by many psychologists in many forms. --Sadi Carnot 04:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, these topics: "psychic energy or libido, value, equivalence, entropy, progression and regression, and canalization" should be moved to Category:Psychodynamics. To save us all some time, I'm just going to do the merge. If there is some big issue with this, we can always revert back. --Sadi Carnot 05:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thermodynamics[edit]

Why is this cathegory a sub-cathegory of Thermodynamics??? Unless we are talking about the fictional science Psychohistory (fictional), there are no connections between the two. Albmont (talk) 10:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
