Psychology anyone?

>>> My brother and some friends cant live without their Psychology, thanks god I have never needed one..

Dude...... what? You mean psychologist/psychiatrist right?

And psychology is what neurology spawned from, just neurology deals with physical matter (the brain) rather than everything else as a whole(emotion for example). This is an excerpt from wikipedia:

Also, "neurological" diseases often have "psychiatric" manifestations, such as post-stroke depression, depression and dementia associated with Parkinson's disease, mood and cognitive dysfunctions in Alzheimer's disease and Huntington disease, to name a few. Hence, there is no sharp distinction between neurology and psychiatry on a biological basis – this distinction has mainly practical reasoning and strong historical roots (such as the dominance of Freud's psychoanalytic theory in the first three quarters of the 20th century – which has since then been largely replaced by the focus on neurosciences – aided by the tremendous advances in genetics and neuroimaging.)

Psychology is the science of behaviour, as they to do experiments and clinical lab studies ect.

Not yet being a very well developed science doesn't mean it isn't a science. Newton didn't have the first clue about nuclear stuff but that doesn't mean he wasn't doing science

This thread reminds me of when roto13 would lash out at anyone who questioned psychology because his husband was a counselor.

I dunno, I think some parents trust shrinks a bit too easily when it comes to drugging their kids up. Aside of that I have no concrete opinions on it.

Psychology is the handicapped little brother of psychiatry.

[Citizen Bleys]

Neurology deals with observable things that physically exist in the real world. That's science.

Psychology deals with abstractions that have no basis in physical reality. I call that an art, save that true art doesn't harm people.

I'm not saying that most psychologists set out to harm people -- that couldn't be further from the case -- but the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

[Aerith's Knight]

^I couldn't agree more to that.

I've been lurking EoFF for years, I've just never registered until this last December.

Suuure.

That's the same argument Lightening/Levian used!

Are you kidding me? Explain yourself, maybe I'm look at the wrong angle.

Neurology deals with observable things that physically exist in the real world. That's science.

Psychology deals with abstractions that have no basis in physical reality[Now you have to be off your meds]. I call that an art, save that true art doesn't harm people.

And Bleys, are telling me psychology hasn't had anything meaningful in it's experiments? An art? Really? Are you serious, you can't possibly say this is only an art.

[Madame Adequate]

Don't worry about Bleys, he's just our resident Scientologist!

And Bleys, are telling me psychology hasn't had anything meaningful in it's experiments? An art? Really? Are you serious, you can't possibly say this is only an art.

Perhaps "nothing meaningful" is an overstatement, but inconclusive and lent readily to misinterpretation? Absolutely. Shrinks have made people "fight" phantom "illnesses" that don't really exist, and think they're "cured" when the root cause still remains. Yes, they do help some people, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I was in and out of shrinks throughout my childhood, but the only person who ever helped me was ME. And maybe William Ernest Henley for "I am the master of my fate / I am the Captain of my soul." Henley did more for me than a half-dozen shrinks and psychiatrists, and it's impossible to think that Invictus isn't art.

Don't worry about Bleys, he's just our resident Scientologist!

The thing is that it is not the tv or the internet witch has affect on us. We are the ones who are controlling ourselves. With this wide range of tv channels and websites a totally new "gate" has opened to us, We just have to use it wisely. So the main reason for all these s*** is that most of the people are under-educated. And even if you have any type of degree You are still the same. It is because the lack of creativity and intuition.I am Hungarian and from what I've seen from "western" education system....huuuuuhhhhhh. It is good for nothing.What I was learning on a english university, it is nothing compared to the hungarian one. It was on the same level as a better hungarian high-school. There are no real teachers.... so there are no real students. People dont like reading now, so they are learning from stupid tv-shows. That is it.

[jenovajunkie]

Okay Mr.hungary, I don't believe you can make that assumption until you've explored all of the western education systems. My school makes you read, so that contradicts your previous statement. And Citizen Bleys, you can't use personal experience as your bias or support to saying "Psychology (as a whole) isn't a science". Maybe you have had a few bad doctors, or all. But they are not psychology, I don't know what they are. But you are the controller of your fate/soul and mind/choices whatever.. I completely agree with you on that.
