Why? Because it’s not a natural science? I understand that the mathematical aspect that has been a cornerstone of the natural sciences is not as strong in social sciences, and never will be, but it’s still a field of study.
When Keynesian and Marxist economists continue to peddle crackpot theories, we say that they’re wrong. We don’t question the validity of economics.
I don’t get why it is acceptable to attack psychology/psychiatry as such just because the Left has hijacked it like they have with all forms of academia.
Science, true science, demands repeatable results in experiments that can be performed by anyone. Psychiatry, and its bastard child psychology, can’t perform these experiments in anything remotely resembling the scientific method.
They may be fields of study, but they are not, nor will they ever be “science”.
