[edit] Style
I just followed a link from the article on Milton Erickson, where T. is briefly mentioned at one point, to see who he might be.
I stumbled over some expressions which I find quiet "cloudy" and which do not fit into what I would expect from an "Encyclopaedia".
The article claims that "Transpersonal Psychology" had become "part of modern psychology", e.g. through the efforts of Mr. Tart. I doubt that all psychologists would find that an accurate statement. It may reflect a personal POV, or that of a group, and is mighty unprecise also; therfore it does not seem to be helpful in a reference work for non-specialists.
"Growth disciplines" and "personal and social growth" sound like catch words to me; they sound "New-Age-y" and "psycho-babble-y", and could be used for all sorts of things; most unprecise; rather an expression of wishful thinking, personal "identity building", or used in (seminar) marketing etc. I find that very unsuitable for an academic project. (A useful test-question: when precisely are we to say that someone has NOT "grown", or has "shrunken", over some period of time and/or as the result of certain activities, practices, ideas, books purchased, seminars attended etc. - esp. if he/she would claim or belief they had done so ?)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Charlestart.jpg
Image:Charlestart.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
