'Psychology' is not one thing. For example, incredible strides have been made in curing phobias, and the entire field of marketing depends on many insights that came from the field of psychology. CBT is a measurably effective tool to deal with, among other things, anxiety. I do agree that as a whole we are realizing that psychology is nowhere near as 'scientific' as it was thought to be, and that's a good thing. But that's a process that has been going on for a while, and many things have improved.
