Crisis in Psychology?
#31
RE: Crisis in Psychology?
My thoughts are that the results of conclusions in psychology are poorly defined. What is the conclusion of diagnosing and "fixing" schizophrenia.... no schizophrenic episodes? No, the results of all of psychology is a better quality of life for an individual/society. That's so nebulous as it's undefinable without a lens that eliminates the individual. When we can map thoughts to 1 and 0s then maybe a discussion of scientific and mathematical reproducibility within psychology would be prudent. I don't think it's valid to determine whether the construct is discriminantly and convergently valid without first defining a really comprehensive nomological network.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
