169:), because this list of people should be limited to clinicians/therapists; the list will grow to unmanageable length if we include all famous non-therapists who have influenced the practice of psychotherapy. It is certain that the practice of psychotherapy has been influenced by innumerable theoretical and experimental psychologists, philosophers, literary theorists, neuroscientists, and so on. But the list of people in this template should be limited to famous clinicians who have practiced therapy. Non-clinicians who have influenced the practice of psychotherapy can be mentioned in the articles on the specific approaches or techniques that they influenced.

427:, and then to discuss the candidate techniques on the talk page of that list. Then the most important techniques from that list could be added to this template, but again the problem arises of how to choose which techniques are "most important". I have long been concerned that the coverage of psychotherapy on Knowledge focuses too much on "brand-name" psychotherapy packages or schools, and not enough on discrete therapeutic techniques or procedures (although in addition to these,

195:: Paul Ricoeur was actually one of the most famous psychotherapists in Europe. He had a renowned clinical practice. The rest I understand. But, I recommend you put Ricoeur back up there for two reasons: 1) he brought about work in the field of psychotherapy that no other therapist before him did, and 2) he had a clinical practice as a renowned psychotherapist.
247:: by the way, if we're going to limit the list to "practicing clinicians", we need to double-check some of the names up there, e.g. Skinner was never a therapist. Upon graduation, he worked as a researcher and teacher. Never did a lick of therapy in his career. If we're removing Allport and Seligman for that reason, we need to remove Skinner, too.
911:’s article in English generates 4 views a day. Basically, you are the only person in the world reading about this guy. It’s blasphemous putting him next to Freud as if they’re equals. It is like putting the majors and the generals next to the privates and corporals. We need to obey the rule of hierarchy.
893:
The fact that you studied psychology for one year in university is also irrelevant; this template is about psychotherapy, which is typically a graduate-level specialty, and I am not at all convinced that you know the field of psychotherapy well enough to be dictating what should be removed from this

We need to follow the principle of putting quality over quantity. There are clear levels of notability. The people who were removed would rank very low on a scale of notability, for which there are many indicators: their articles are meagre, they have articles in few languages, their works have few

My view is that the chronological order gives a little more context for the names, providing an overview of the development of the field and the place of each person in history, which provides so much more informational value than an (effectively random) alphabetical list. The list of names in the

This is a very good suggestion; the only problem I see is how to choose which techniques to include, since there are so many of them. I would suggest that the best way to start is to make a list of candidate techniques here on the talk page, below. Or another solution, which I think may be even
596:
hello, you seem to be an involved editor active with this template, so let me ask... why are DOB's used to sort the people? Few readers will know the birth dates, and to me it appears that these important people would be much easier for readers to find if their names were alphabetized to their

would be a big step toward remedying this lack of emphasis on techniques or procedures. I have been collecting a list of references that serve as examples of different ways of organizing psychotherapy/counseling techniques, and I could share those references on the talk page of the new list.
821:
Actually, I would mention most of these people. I don't agree that 5 or 10 people is enough, if there is going to be a list of people. But I'm not opposed to removing the list entirely. That would certainly be "concise" if concision is what you're going for.

714:
Also—we need to strive to make templates like these concise and easy to navigate. And one way of doing this is by referring to the people by their last names, as is the norm in normal life as well as on
Knowledge, although it may not be a written norm.

are brilliant examples of internationally notable scholars, who deserve representation in a template on the topic. Having studied
Psychology for one year at university, I know that these people are mentioned in the literature.

And as should be obvious, I disagree that removing first names makes the navbox easier to navigate. But thanks for hiding the birth dates, which is something I had contemplated doing in the past but never got around to doing.

I appreciate that you cited a reference to your defence, but top 30 among now living people is way too extensive. In order to merit inclusion they would have to be in top 5 or at least top 10, if the list is supposed to be

Seems the list of people would appear much shorter if the dates were omitted altogether. Those dates are, after all, included in the lead sentences of the people's articles.

Imagine if you were the summarize the history of

At the moment the technique list is predominantly behaviour. How about we include some of the main techniques from the other schools. Some other possibilities are:

I disagree with many of the judgments you made about who merits inclusion. You removed therapists who definitely should be listed here. For example, you removed
