Is everyone here really a Psychoanalyst?

[edit]

There seems to be some indecision here about who can and cannot be included. Alfred Adler is known technically as an "individual psychologist" rather than a psychoanalyst, so he should only be included if the term "psychoanalyst" is used in a general as opposed to specific sense. ACEO 19:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC) I see for example that there is a separate section for Jungian analysts, and in the strict sense, these are ANALYTICAL psychologists, not psychoanalysts (if one wishes to be a purist, one can talk about Freud but not Adler or Jung as being "psychoanalyst"). One name I see is not on this list is the Argentine psychoanalyst Ana-Maria Rizzuto. ACEO 19:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Narcissism

[edit]

Why is Narcissism (psychology) lised as a Psychoanalyst? Even give the query above from ACEO about whether technically some of the people listed are Psychoanalysts, this most surely SHOULDN'T be listed as one whatever way you look at it, since it is not even a person, but rather a concept! I'm not sure a concept is capable of being a psychoanalyst... --AntonChanning 12:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
