Its basically a religion.<br /><br />A few hundred years ago if someone was schizophrenic they were possessed by demons and had it tortured out of them by priests.<br /><br />A little bit later if someone was schizophrenic they were tortured by psychiatrists.<br /><br />Now, if someone is schizophrenic its assumed to be a chemical imbalance and the only cure is dangerous mind numbing drugs. Big pharma and psychiatrists make billions.<br /><br />We still dont know what causes mental illness and we still have no cures or really even effective treatment. We have dangerous mind numbing and very profitable drugs that dont work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218276621561154429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-82721681836909608782014-12-10T04:08:19.932-08:002014-12-10T04:08:19.932-08:00Try learning how to read... the reference is to so...Try learning how to read... the reference is to some studies that have been shown not to be science.

Yes, Social Psych is a dubious area of research. They are the most clique-like and least statistically rigourous of all the areas of psychology. However, even within their ranks, there are very good research programs (few as they may be) and outstanding researchers. I would be cautious about dismissing the field -- which I know was not the intent of this blog. However, it still needs to be said that there is some value in the empirical line of inquiry.
