Peter Gray is often described as a psychologist. In the title he's identified as a psychologist, and in the article he's described as a "research professor of psychology". Now someone has apparently attempted to add a tag to rename the page, saying that the term "psychologist" is misleading and false. Is Peter Gray a "psychologist" or not?

I received by email some sensible requests regarding the article, which I'd like to record here.
Gray has published additional books with Tipping Point Press, and it would be good to add them to the article.
Gray is listed as an author on another book. (I'm not certain of details.)
Concern was indicated that the only work cited of Gray's was his thesis. I take this as being a request to expand and/or source the "Work" section.
The requests were presented as coming from the subject of the page; I have not tried to verify this provenance, and I don't think that's necessarily required in this case. I do think that some caution is required: the Tipping Point publisher is fairly closely affiliated with Gray, for example; and we can't use WP:PRIMARY sources for a discussion of his research. (The thesis listing is a WP:SECONDARY source for the fact that he got a PhD from Rockefeller.) I'll look at implementing some of these requests as much as I can find time over the next few days.
