James Hansen (jthansen) | 3 comments I am writing because two books I have authored are listed under the incorrect goodreads author. Here's the issue:

My name is James T. Hansen, and I am a goodreads author. My goodreads author url is https://www.goodreads.com/jthansen

There is another James T. Hansen author on goodreads - his goodreads author url is https://www.goodreads.com/JamesHansenMD

Here's the problem: I am the author of two books:
1) "Philosophical Issues in Counseling and Psychotherapy: Encounters with Four Questions about Knowing, Effectiveness, and Truth"
2) "Humanistic Perspectives on Contemporary Counseling Issues"

Both of these books are INCORRECTLY listed on https://www.goodreads.com/JamesHansenMD
This person is NOT the author of these books (he did author "Reinvent the heal...")

I would be very grateful if someone would please remove the books that I authored from the other authors goodreads author website, and make sure that all editions of these books appear on my website.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (jthansen@oakland.edu).

I greatly appreciate your support!

Thanks,

Jim

Z-squared | 8575 comments Ok, i have moved your books to your profile. However, you should be aware that Goodreads policy is to include periods after initials. Currently, your profile is "James T Hansen". This needs to be edited to include a period after "T". Because there's already a "James T. Hansen" profile on GR, however, yours will need to be edited to something slightly different -- but don't panic! It will be different in a way that is invisible to GR users.

Goodreads uses extra spaces to disambiguate authors with otherwise identical names. These extra spaces are ONLY visible in the author name field on the edit page and are NOT visible to users. Because you have already claimed your profile, as a librarian, I can't fix yours. It will require a GR employee to do so, and I'm going to post a request to the GR employee thread. But I just wanted to give you a heads-up first about what I'm doing.
