"It always suprises me that psychiatrists do psychodynamic stuff whereas psychologists do CBT. I would have thought that the most 'scientific' pairing would be medication stuff, plus CBT. But, well, there it is."
Yeah, me too! But maybe that is because after all, Freud was a psychiatrist and not a psychologist, and sometimes professional seems to prefer to "stick to their own", if you understand what I mean. CBT, as far as I know, more "founders" in the branch of psychology than at least psychoanalysis itself has...
But plainly, what I believe, is that medicine and psychology can both be accused of being "pseudo". In my personal opinion, using a medication that seems to work on (lets say) 50% of the poeple who has a certain problem... without really knowing WHY the medication is working is not very scientific in my point of view ;-)
