I absolutely hate that sort of question. I've had to do some psych units, and social psych and qualitative research were just so full of that sort of thing. I went into uni thinking 'Oh yeah, though It's not my chosen path I can certainly see why people would want to study psych, it would be interesting' to 'omg what a load of nonsense, why would people continue studying this?'

To be fair I wasn't doing all their units, only a select few, but wow. You may think I'm poo-pooing a science, It's not me, it was the qualitative instructor who was doing that =P. Went on about how bad quantitative methods were (stats n stuff, which they condensed down one semester's worth into half a semester to make room for qualitative) and how good your own bias and subjectivity as a researcher are for almost the first full lecture. We* stopped attending eventually, was all about feminism, post-modernism, blah blah blah, same as my brother's art's degree pretty much, he shows me some right nonsense (and I lost the right to mock him after he stumbled across my lecture notes for that class )

I would have thought geoscience was a hard enough science to not have to deal with that sort of thing.

*we, us non psych students, I was one of the last to leave, I was sat almost by myself by the end.

ugh, I tried reading that essay, ugh.

The essays and links talk of "Women" honey; not girls

You may think I'm poo-pooing a science,

Not at all,psychology is a 'soft science' at best. At worst sheer crackpottery.

Read say Carl Jung's autobiography. I was also shocked to find out there is no empirical evidence to support Freud's model of consciousness, with its trinary system of ego,id and superego. I won't even start on some of the more popular alternative models.

I make a clear distinction between the practice of psychology and psychiatry,which has at least some empirical base.
