{{Etymology|From the ancient Greek ψυχή psyche ("soul," "mind") and -λογία -ology ("study").}}
'''Psychology''' is the systematic study and evaluation of [[mind]] and [[behavior]]. Scientists in the 1600s and 1700s felt that the mind was beyond the ability of science to study it. Beginning with Galvani, some began to feel that [[physical science]] could explain the [[human mind]]. However, an objective view would not reduce the mind to a mere manifestation of the brain. That is the view of materialist philosophers such as [[Feuerbach]] and [[Lenin]].

[[Psychology]], a bastion of [[liberal]]ism, is rife with quackery and often [[pseudoscience]].<ref>http://voxday.blogspot.com/2011/11/psychology-is-not-science.html]</ref> For example, only 2/3 of Dutch psychologist release the data for their experiments.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/03/health/research/noted-dutch-psychologist-stapel-accused-of-research-fraud.html]</ref>
