- jamp897 8y agoThe core issue is that you need to establish a norm, but without an absolute point of reference such as enlightenment it’s like trying to walk strait in a dessert which is not possible. But if you bring this point up of going in circles they act just like Plato describes in his Cave Alegory. So it’s not a new issue. I don’t know if anyone has written a book specifically about psychology being a faux science, like eugenics in a way, but someone should.

Psychology isn't science. Why can we definitively say that? Because psychology often does not meet the five basic requirements for a field to be considered scientifically rigorous: clearly defined terminology, quantifiability, highly controlled experimental conditions, reproducibility and, finally, predictability and testability.
