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.

Someone who covers themselves in poop is a poopiphile. They love it. It would never be because they are trying to make themselves repulsive. That never happens. Everyony wants to be famous.
Except that's sort of like psychology. If poopiphilia is all that gets taught about people who cover themselves in poop, then the problem never gets treated, just the symptoms.
That's why psychology fails. It covers general human psychological conditions wothout creating a fix. It's a treatment, not a cure, and therefore it's a religion.
