Right now he is presented as a Polish psychologist. This is simply wrong. He operated in the US where he lived since age 13. He was born in the the Russian Empire in Warsaw to a Jewish family. So the best description on his national/ethnic background is Jewish American. There is no indication that he was connected to Poland or the Polish culture, hence no real reason to emphasize in the preamble. Haparsi ( talk) 23:39, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
I understand that you tend to Americanize absolutely everyone who was born and raised overseas and moved to America. Fair, however, if one held both citizenships, then they are of both nationalities, not ethnicity which indeed isn't added to the lead. The previous version was accepted and has been there for years. "Jewish" is not a nationality in this case. He was not a rabbi. You do not see anywhere the term "Jewish-American" in the lead in other articles. Moreover, as you can read in the article and other sources, he was struggling with his English for a majority of his early life. Additionally, he didn't move to America as a baby or was born there which would have made him of Polish-Jewish descent only. Moreover, the article is now sourced with published texts and books which support the Polish-American version. Best Regards. Oliszydlowski, 10:57, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
