I would throw in a long term view here. Karl Poppers work on scientific epistemology created a big chunk of the modern, working scientific method. His big concern was unfalsifiable theories. The two big targets he was aiming at were Marx & Freud. Marxism (also other political theories) became more philosphically oriented and stopped calling their theories scientific. Psychology/psychiatry adopted more scientific methods of enquiry. Still, we have serious quality issues in the field(s).
