Tlik- I’ll concede that some psychologists believe in the soul. The problem is that the credibility assigned to psychologists as “experts” is partially misplaced because as a community they aren’t any more expert on the soul than dentists are. I don’t consult with my dentist regarding the spiritual ramifications of taking a medication or conditioning my behavior. I consult with an expert on spirituality. Your point earlier that there are many who people view as experts in that field that really aren’t is important but doesn’t minimize my point in any way.
