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:

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]
