are psychiatry and psychology sciences ( Archived) (87)

I do not say they are healers, but they are not scientists either.

They simply have medical knowledge, and apply their methods.

I will start with the disclaimer that I am neither a psychologist or psychiatrist. The other evening I was at a friend's home (she is a college professor of Psychology) and we discussed the field in depth. Many professionals who actively use psychology as an integral instrument in their work readily concede that it is a "soft science", rather than a solid science. (Mathematics and Biology are generally regarded as solid sciences because 2 +2 equals 4, no matter how you look at it, and a frog is a frog is a frog.....etc...) However, in Psychology, the variables are always arguable, behavior is not predictable in a scientific sense, and conduct and perception change in people as frequently as wild grass grows. That's one of the main differences in a soft science, and a solid one. JMO
