Morgnt Article Additions

This where I'll type my additions to the article before we pool all of our information into one big addition of the article. This way, we are not marking up the real article and we can proofread and edit one another's work when necessary.--Travis G. (talk) 02:44, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

I plan to simply explore the general concept of kinesthetic sympathy further. The article is only two sentences long; one is the definition, the other just relates it to hoarding. I should like to add more about the observation of people who have kinesthetic sympathy.--Travis G. (talk) 02:58, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

I added to the intro section of my article, discussing the differences between empathy and sympathy. I also expanded on the mention of "clutter," by relating kinesthetic sympathy to hoarding. I also added another section, which talks of the NSGCD study conducted in 2003. --Travis G. (talk) 05:54, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Annotated Bibliography

1. This source reviews the aspects of obsessive complusive disorder, along with that comes hoarding. There was a study done at the Anxiety Disorders Clinic at the New York State Psychiatric Institute that study the difference between OCD hoarders, and OCD non hoarders. They study interpersonal attachment, and the measurement of object attachment. This article can be helpful in studying kinesthetic sympathy, because it seems that kinesthetic sympathy is a form of OCD and also a form of hoarding.--Shannonschulte92 (talk) 01:29, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

2. This source shows the research of a NSGCD study. Its purpose was to collect data on the effectiveness of using special techniques with clients to avoid kinetic sympathy. This will be helpful in the development of this article in that it shows a direct approach to researching peoples' actions involving kinesthetic sympathy, and trying to avoid it--Travis G.

3. This source discusses both sympathy and empathy and its therapeutic distinctions in counseling, an important branch of psychology. In addition to exploring kinesthetic sympathy further, it's important to mention empathy and exactly what it is to give the reader a better understanding of sympathy in general. --Travis G.
