> anecdotally Yeah, I'd say. Sometimes anecdotes are useful, revealing something interesting about a person's experience in the world. Here, you've done something very unfair: extrapolate from very a very small perspective into a very large idea of what the world is like. Psychology is a rich field with diverse practitioners. Rational, data driven, empirical methods underpin psych research as anywhere in the sciences. And where this isn't true, where Freudians and Jungians, etc., hold sway, there's something interesting going on there, too. Mushy and soft and philosophical and silly as it might be. Don't discount the value of centuries of inquiry and practice because you know a half dozen idiot psychologists that believe in astrology. This is not a representative or useful sample.
