==Attribution to 'Rebirthing'?==
== When did Newmaker die? ==
Where is the supporting evidence that the so-called 'therapy' delivered by Watkins lays within the definition of 'rebirthing' therapy? The canonical literature on the modality of rebirthing begins with the 1974 book 'Rebirthing in the New Age' by Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray. This text makes no mention of the technique used by Watkins. Nobody has produced any references to any subsequent texts on rebirthing which promote such a technique either. This article either needs to substantiate the use of the word 'rebirthing' with a reference to an accepted text on the discipline, or it needs to remove the word 'rebirthing' altogether.
:I always believed it was on April 18/19 2000. However, the FindaGrave site and several other sites say it was 1999. This must mean she was either 9 or 10 when she died.

When I read about it in the newspaper it said she was born in 1988 and died in April 1999. I think the Find-A-Grave site got her year of birth wrong. --User:Carie
Should there be a little more about Watkins - what kind of therapist she was, her qualifications, training etc and how come she came to be doing this? Also Ponder of course.

== Unlicensed? == == External links modified ==


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
The two therapists who killed Candace Newmaker were both legally allowed to practice in Colorado. Connell Watkins had been an unlicensed psychotherapist registered with the State of Colorado, which allowed her to practice, which she had done for over fifteen years in Colorado. Julie Ponder was a marriage and family therapist in California, and under reciprocity agreements was allowed to practice in Colorado. These are facts which came out in trial.


I have just added archive links to {{plural:2|one external link|2 external links}} on ]. Please take a moment to review . If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
It was part of the scandal of this case that the little girl was (a) killed during what was claimed to be psychotherapy and (b) killed by persons legally allowed to practice. Additionally, part of the importance of the case was that these convictions were the first time that ''practicing therapists'' were criminally convicted for maltreatment during a therapy session, where the criminality did not involve sexual misconduct.

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the ''checked'' parameter below to '''true''' to let others know.
Thus, it is both inaccurate and misses the point to describe these therapists as "unlicensed". While some mental-health practitioners would like to place Newmaker's killers as outside the legal framework mental-health practice (licensing), that is only their point of view and is not supported by the facts of the matter.


{{sourcecheck|checked=false}}
I have accordingly improved the article to remove the words "unlicensed" as being wrong, ] and misleading to Wiki readers.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
Thank you for the opportunity to establish this. The licensure facts as I've stated them are verifiable in ''Attachment Therapy on Trial'' (ISBN 027597675), pp. 44-45, which information was gleaned from trial transcripts. Their licensure status addressed the "reckless" component of the criminal charges. By convicting, the jury settled any question about their culpability deriving from their legal status and professional background. ] 21:34, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

In the next video he finds the door in 5 minuets and has to leave the room and the door opens by its self. This is the first connection. The door opens on the exact day that the therapists were released from a 16 year term in prison because they killed Candace Newmaker. That is all I post right now.
