Removed the list of journal articles[edit]

Lots of red links, unsourced, arguably not very useful to have on the main page. I've reproduced it here. I put the image toward the beginning of the article, when that journal is first introduced.

Clinical psychology journals[edit]

Cover of The Psychological Clinic, the first journal of clinical psychology, published in 1907 by Lightner Witmer

Major influences[edit]

Diagnostic Impressions Section Misleading[edit]

The final paragraph of this section is misleading and should be removed. Clinical psychologists not only diagnose, but are *required* to diagnose in order to treat their patients. It is, in fact, considered unethical for a clinical psychologist to treat a patient without first assigning a diagnosis which is to be treated. For this reason, this information is incorrect. In addition, distinguishing between a diagnosis and a formulation is a false dichotomy, as the clinical formulations that are provided by psychologists include a diagnosis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSukis (talkcontribs) 02:04, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Transpersonal Psychology Section[edit]

I noticed that the transpersonal psychology section was not that big, at least when compared to other psychological methods. I was thinking of adding that "transpersonal psychology also focuses on understanding the brain as it goes through shifts in consciousness that are related to transcendence" transcendence being different for each individual of course.

I just wanted to go through the talk page before I actually edited.

Thank you
