False.

False.
> You can read any two psychology "textbooks" and get two differing opinions about how to address the same issues...
Mind-bogglingly false; you have no idea what you're talking about.
I suspect you're either confusing psychology with psychoanalysis, or you're confusing experimental psychology with clinical psychology, as it's true that the DSM-IV had a serious disgnostic reliability problem (not sure what the sate of the DSM-V is).
In any case, understand that the term "psychology" encompases such research as this: http://cavlab.net/?lang=en http://cavlab.net/?lang=en
Non-social psychology (e.g. perception, attention, psychophysics, etc) has indeed become a pretty hard science.
