Why is everyone always so surprised when I have to mention that Psychology's genesis was actually metaphysics and epistemology, which date back to Aristotle. That's about 2400 years ago. That predates the scientific method by about 1400 years. Psychology is not a young science. Neurology is a young science. Quantum physics is a young science.
Leaving that alone, even if psychology was 14 years old that would not make it any more or less viable. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. The proof is in every person who has had their mental health improved by people who understand the science of psychology. The proof is in documented successes and improvements of methodology. The proof is in an ever more complete understanding of human mental processes and behavior.
