Psychology - Science or Religion?

Psychology has adopted the scientific mode. However, from a strictly scientific point of view, it has not been able to meet the requirements of true science.

A medical doctor, a psychiatrist needs no less and no more of your "trust" then any other doctor.  He can think to himself that you are a giant asshole and still figure out that you have schizophrenia or bipolar depression or what have you, based upon your description of you own symptoms plus his observations.  If anything, he must trust you to give accurate information.

If you imagine that you have to confess about your relationship with your mother, or your masturbation habits, or your life story, you do not.  If you feel a question is off limits, just duck it; you are there as a customer, not as a criminal suspect.  A modern pychiatrist is not a devoted adherent to Freud's psychoanalysis and bunk such as dream interpretation.  That's history now, of some use perhaps in the past, but as we've moved from Dalton's atomic model, science of the brain is not what it was.
