The DSM is decided upon my consensus vote of APA members.
A social science is totally subjective. Sociology (influenced heavily by Marx and Weber) is a social science, just like anthropology is a social science.
Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, Karen Horney, Aaron Beck, Carl Skinner, etc. were mere theoreticians. And many of their ideas have been used to repress and violate populations of people.
Psychiatry has an ugly history, in many aspects.
Psychometrics are flawed in many ways, unlike blood tests. Psychometrics ask questions informed by and shaped by ideology.
It is agreed upon that psychology is rooted in philosophy and physiology. Philosophy is simply not a science. It is no different than religion, for which there is no objective way to prove veracity. Likewise, psychology and its theories are something that people either accept or they don’t, resulting in Freudian cult followings, etc.
When neuroimaging advances to the point where we can make more concrete diagnoses, I’ll be more likely to entertain ideas that as of now, are simply untenable.
And social work is a profession that is thoroughly leftist/socialist. Social work is a completely useless profession, advancing the welfare state, Marxist, feminist, and racialist ideas.
