Article needs a thorough review[edit]

I got behind reviewing this article. As I'm catching up, I'm noticing edits, often from WP:SPA accounts, that may have WP:PROMO, WP:OR, WP:MEDRS, or WP:FRINGE problems:

I'm noting these here as it's going to take time to unravel it all. --Hipal (talk) 21:06, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Go ahead and restore stuff if as far as you can tell it is properly referenced. You've got the revision logs, so it's all laid out!
I'll caution that on some of the articles where I removed content, the sources seemed to fail WP criteria. (ex, I seem to remember some citations pointing at academic-sounding organizations that were actually just two unaccredited people with a web page) Nyeogmi (talk) 23:46, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yes, there's a lot of poorly sourced information being added that reviewers are catching, especially WP:MEDRS and WP:PROMO problems. I made the note because I've not found the time for a thorough review after noticing some of these problems months ago. --Hipal (talk) 16:52, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Uses[edit]

There is some question as to whether the "uses" section is appropriately demarcating how hypnotherapy is actually used. Most hypnotherapy is used in the context of alternative medicine and the precise rationale is not well-defined in terms of condition or symptom. Thus, this section is entirely misleading. The best reviews we have on the subject is that people seek out hypnotherapy for such a wide range of reasons that to single them out as we do on this page is to do a disservice to the reader in actually describing how such activities are actually practiced. I don't even know how to begin to address this, but a complete overhaul seems like it is probably a good idea. Note also that this issue has been discussed on WP:FTN. jps (talk) 16:24, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
