Psychology (and psychiatry) is good enough at finding patterns in the symptoms patients go through, and grouping them into so-called disorders. It's not perfect, but it's a useful tool. What they are not good at is all the rest: explaining what causes those symptoms in the first place, and how to treat them in the second place. And this isn't something that has changed in the past 30 yrs. This phenomenon is also not exclusive to soft sciences. Humans (especially domain experts) just really really hate admitting "we don't know."
