Now that we are past that I have to disagree with you when you say that psychology doesnt often use the scientific method. As stated before some psychologists choose to ignore the scientific method. Still, many of the subfields in psychology are completely centered around science. Examples of these subfields are psych testing, neuro-psychology, experimental psychology, psychological social psychology, cognitive psychology etc...
I am often amazed by the way psychology is presented in the media as a kind of poppy science with real open boundaries when it comes to science but I assure you no psychologists at present get through their studies without a reasonable understanding of the scientif method.
