I think maybe you're asking the wrong question. Psychology is a science by definition. It is the study of behavior and mental processes. But that doesn't mean that everyone who "contributes" to the field is a scientist. There are a lot of bogus things being called psychology, and there are a lot of conclusions being drawn that are based on unscientific studies.
But we've certainly learned quite a bit of useful stuff about the way the human mind works, and that's what psychology is all about.
