Challenges of the article

Tom, I respect your taking this on; it's a bold task. Let me make some general comments.

Care must be taken to avoid having this come across as an essay.

What is the role of Freud and his disciples? Just a correction -- he was a psychiatrist, not a psychologist. Of his closest disciples, Jung split off into a more culturally and spiritually based model. Adler, perhaps, was more of a social psychologist. Some call Freud's model pseudoscience, but I tend to think of it more as prescientific, the next generation or so (e.g., Gestalt, or even Jung's Man and his Symbols) moving into broader context. Of course, today's neuroscience goes in powerful new directions. Where, for example, does an underdeveloped amygdala and poor impulse control fit?

While I do believe Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, I think it needs better integration and development.
