GA Review
editAfter a brief copyedit to clean up a few minor issues, I think the article meets the Good article criteria. It is well written, well-sourced, informative, and interesting. The lead could be expanded a bit, though. Also, does he have any publications? A listing of publications he authored might be worth adding to the article as well. Cheers!

Commented out
edit| “ | His interest in psychology began when his sister Eunice committed suicide, because of the issue of depression.[citation needed] Todd had thought he had cured her, multiple times, but she still had episodes. and when she had to attend to a large farm in empty Vermont alone, she was pushed over the edge. This began his theory that mental retardation (insanity at the time) was a disease and had a cause and possibly a cure. This began his revolutionary treatments, and what made the government give so much money for the mental hospital to be built. | ” |

The assertion that his sister committed suicide due to depression, which then prompted his interest in mental health, is too big an idea to be unsourced. If a source is located then by all means restore it, but without it, it should be excised. ♠PMC♠ 19:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
