Emotional releasing

Article claims a bloke or group invented a technique/cliche which is well known in new age/therapy circles, but the supposed creator never wrote any publications which are available in the mainstream, nor has he been discussed anywhere much. One book mentions him in a list of several people [1] and his followers have released two press releases [2] and that's all their mentions in the press. There's one book (?) written in German about them, but it's by a press associated with their movement and dedicated solely to their subject. [3] . I suppose an article could be written about the concept in therapies based on WP:RS but it would be nigh impossible as 'emotional releasing' is such a diffuse phrase and concept employed in different ways.

Ptiche (talk) 14:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC) Thanks for the feedback. About workable references: I have been checking the sources of the books about releasing. There are 5 books about releasing. It's true 3 books are from Sheema Medien Verlag (www.sheema.de). The creation of Sheema was inspired by the Releasing work, but it now has several other titles. More importantly, the fourth and fifth book are published by regular publishers:[reply]
