> Psychology is a scientific discipline Thomas Insel, the sitting chair of the NIMH, disagrees with you. In his Scientific American article "Faulty Circuits" (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=faulty-circuits http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=faulty-circ...), he says: "In most areas of medicine, doctors have historically tried to glean something about the underlying cause of a patient’s illness before figuring out a treatment that addresses the source of the problem. When it came to mental or behavioral disorders in the past, however, no physical cause was detectable so the problem was long assumed by doctors to be solely “mental,” and psychological therapies followed suit. Today scientific approaches based on modern biology, neuroscience and genomics are replacing nearly a century of purely psychological theories, yielding new approaches to the treatment of mental illnesses." I draw your attention to the phrase "scientific approaches based on modern biology, neuroscience and genomics are replacing nearly a century of purely psychological theories ..." Science requires empirically testable, falsifiable theories. Psychology doesn't have empirically testable, falsifiable theories. End of story.
