I subscribe to an e-newsletter from The Natural Child Project. Not sure how I found them, but this woman, Jan Hunt, has some very interesting perspectives on discipline and punishment and how they can negatively affect children.
A reader wrote to her and asked her opinion on such disciplinary techniques as consequences and diversion (hey, who hasn't used diversion?). Her response is posted here: http://www.naturalchild.org/advice/q78.html
Here are a few other links I read:

Just curious what other people thought....
