Jen: I initially thought the same as you guys, keep it for actual 
psych diagnosis, psychological theory, etc., but started wondering 
if it would be too narrow. Like I read a post with a really good 
analysis of Hermione, but no formal terminology, and debated where 
to put it. 

If no one objects, though, I'll go with Ginger/Potioncat and stick 
the bulk of the posts in characterizaltion, leaving only the more 
formalized posts for psych assessment.

Jen, doing it for a living and certain hers is on the edge.
