The mention of Paul Van Dyk's song really doesn't belong here - I wouldn't mention Beck on a page about a Dump Truck just because he wrote a song with that title. At the same time, there's no reason that a song can't get a page. It should have a page of it's own if someone's interested in making it. I wouldn't even mind hooking things up to disambiguate. There's not enough information on the artist's page or anywhere else to move this little tidbit to the right spot. At this point I guess I should've just deleted the comment and been done with it. Anyone else have input?
- Could someone write a example of how introjection mechanism works practically?
[edit] Citations and Citation Style
Is the citation style used here appropriate to Wikipedia? For example, the date is listed for "The Meaning of Introjection", but there is no link to the paper, or even a footnote with the original publication information. A link or citation about the Torok essay mentioned in the same section would also be nice.
For the second sentence in the "Relational Mechanisms" section, the citation seems unclear to me. Is it from the same work by Winnicott mentioned later? The third paragraph in this section has unclear quotation marks: where does the quote begin, and where does it end?
Finally, in the "Torok/Ferenczi" section, it is stated, "Of course, Freud had a habit of looking at relational mechanisms in negative terms." This appears to be a broad generalization - perhaps it is patently obvious to students of psychology, but as a layperson, I know that I would appreciate examples, quotations, or - if possible - links that will give me a better sense of Freud's opinions on this particular subject.
Thanks a lot. ErikaJavert (talk) 16:48, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
