The anti psychology-is-a science camp say that the statistics and the methods of research don’t really back its therapeutic methods enough to call it a science – that there is no proof that their methods are right. The internal illnesses that psychology claims to cure cannot be cured because they are apparently subjective and their methods are very low on logic. The problem with these people is that they have not studied psychology in depth like the people who practice it. The facts and figures and the manner in which they have been concluded are not presented in the simplistic source that they got their information from.

Any science is either a Physical Science or a Social Science. Any library will have their Psychology section in the Social Sciences section – some even keep it near the Philosophy section. That is because it has it roots standing firmly in Philosophy. The questions that it asks even today are the very same questions that philosophy asked years and years ago as to how the mind works and affects everything else.

A Social Science is one that affects social life indeed and psychology fits the bill to the tee. It is rooted in the society – more importantly in the understanding of the minds of the people who make up society. These minds cause people to act how they will many a time leaving us the people stunned at what just happened.
