Psychology is no more predicated on mind-brain duality than computer science is predicated on hardware-algorithm duality. It's a level of analysis issue. There's plenty of psychology close to the neuron, and there's plenty of psychology where invoking neural substrates is unnecessary or even impossible.

I already discussed the flawed algorithm/hardware analogy in another comment. It's so strange that the two commenters claim psychology isn't predicated on mind-brain duality and yet in their same comment show that psychology requires mind-brain duality. If psychology isn't predicated on mind-brain duality, it wouldn't exist any longer. We'd just have neuroscience.
