sounds like you don't care much for psychology.
If you have time it might be interesting to find people who defend psychology.
I'm sure their are some, if only the psychologists.
 
...psychology subject use less? Generally, I find many great philosopher, poets and writers criticize about the subject matter of psychology. Many list and indirectly describe psychology as a fake subject matter and the loss of time and has no fundamental truth upon it in being.
I collected some quotations regarding it:
Idleness is the parent of all psychology.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) German philosopher and poet.

maintain that today many an inventor, many a diplomat, many a financier is a sounder philosopher than all those who practice the dull craft of experimental psychology.
Oswald Spengler (1880 - 1936) German philosopher.

"Psychology" is merely a thin skin on the surface of the ethical world in which modern man seeks his truth—and loses it.
Michel Foucault (1926 - 1984) French philosopher.

It seems a pity that psychology should have destroyed all our knowledge of human nature.
G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) British writer and poet.

Lie down, then, on the soft couch which the analyst provides, and try to think up something different. The analyst has endless time and patience; every minute you detain him means money in his pocket.
Henry Miller (1891 - 1980) U.S. novelist.

Psychoanalysis is spending 40 dollars an hour to squeal on your mother.
James Connell (1852 - 1929)

Psychology is as unnecessary as directions for using poison.
Karl Kraus (1874 - 1936) Austrian writer.

Psychology which explains everything explains nothing, and we are still in doubt.
Marianne Moore (1887 - 1972) U.S. poet.

Wisdom is something I would never expect from Freud. Cleverness, certainly; but not wisdom.
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 - 1951) Austrian philosopher.
