I

I came expecting a lengthy article -- not a definition. I was thinking particularly of the prison guard/prisoner experiments in disinhibition by sanction of authority. These experiments followed the holocaust, and relate to what's been going on with people in American custody. There is also considerable scholarship and speculation on internet disinhibition. Even Jeckyl and Hyde could be part of an article. Forget the wiktionary move -- leave the stub notice, and maybe this will induce some to add some content. Meanwhile, I'll keep looking for authorities on disinhibition for my own purposes, and try to write a few paragraphs for the article at some later date. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.187.178.38 (talk • contribs) 20:53, June 23, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I was expecting more as well, having come from Alzheimers. —Locke Cole 12:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

As I am working with people with dis-inhibition from brain injury I felt this definition needed a major review to push this page along. I have left some of the non-clinical references re youth, but make it clearer here the concept of dis-inhibition is being applied outside its clinical sense (though still valid for such an article for anyone wanting a run down on dis-inhibition.

I could spend more time to make the article better, but have left it a little flakey in the hope others will be encouraged to work on it some more.

This article does not address the positive effects of disinhibition. Some disinhibition is characterized by increased confidence and bolder or more aggressive stances and conversation which may be construed as a desirable trait in certain instances where an individual initiates a courtship.

I'd like to see some discussion on disinhibition as it relates to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Also with regard to the comment above, about the positive impacts resulting from disinhibition - not just being more aggressive or having increased confidence, but e.g. consider studies that suggest ADHD has been selected for due to arguably resulting in improved survival (e.g. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14100-did-hyperactivity-evolve-as-a-survival-aid-for-nomads/). I don't bother editing Wikipedia pages myself anymore, because I find abusive editors that gatekeep articles just remove any contributions I try to make. But if someone else wants to give it a go, that'd be great./ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.61.182.221 (talk) 00:50, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
