psychoanalysis isn’t anywhere near the whole of psychology. there is plenty of solid research in psychology thats undeniably scientifically as sound as any test in physics- the thing is counfounding variables are challenging to control in human populations, so you need absolutely massive samples and multiple double blind studies followed up with meta analysis to try to remove them, including researcher bias and plenty of other variables.
One thing to consider is there is rarely, if ever, proifit in helping people be psychologicall healthy on an individual basis. So, chem and physics gets funded because you can make things and sell the results.
Its not chemestry! but there is a lot of science happening in psychology, but it’s woefully underfunded because you can’t sell the product in a clear way, and no one wants to talk about how a healthy society has less crime, health problems, addiction, etc.
Lol, what? There absolutely is profit in psychology, as most psych majors find out when they start looking for jobs. It’s called “advertising” and it’s terrible.
