I think psychology is an umbrella term used to define way to many seperate areas. Some are scientific. Some are not.
I think most psychology is more of an art than a science.
There is a lot of what passes for psychology that IMO is complete bullshit. There have been many "truths" based on the science of psychology that have turned out to be horrible mistakes that caused untold suffering in those it attempted to treat. Prozac for children? Homosexuality as a diagnosable disorder worthy of commital? Lobotomy as a cure all? All of these things are the result of the science of psychology.
