Are you saying that all theories that cannot be scientifically proven are stupid as shit?
I think a big problem with psychology as a science is that much of the phenomena with which psychology deals with is too dense and diverse to be assailed through a scientific method. That doesn't mean that the phenomena is false. The mind is grounded in physiology but it is influenced by social factors, as well.
Also behaviorism is what made me leave psychology as a major.
