Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Core Issue-Defense Paradigm
A decent article on a contemporary psychological theory. Very much in line with other contemporary theories. The |single-purpose account argument can hardly be relavent here and does not assume good faith. 'Psychiatric Times' is not a vehicle for self-publishing by Berger. Journals in the field of psychology are generally peer reviewed, and articles included in them are not there for the same reasons that an article might show up in something like 'The Enquirer' or 'Cosmopolitan'. If a psychological theory needed to be cited by others to be notable we would know almost nothing in the field of psychology. Theories are usually named by the person writing the initial articles, and are then discussed by professionals and used as the basis of other theories. Most of psychology is theoretical, and practitioners have to apply theory on a case by case basis as seems useful at the time. Doesn't need trimming. More likely it needs more wiki or web links to other theories so people will better understand it in context
