Is psychology a true science - in context of it being not 100& provable it does 
not seem to be - but in the Popperian view it would seem to be a science in 
that it is not falsifiable
But in claiming to be a scientifc discipline, does the subject automatically 
reject the Popperian idea regarding falsification, thereby shooting itself in 
the foot as far as serious credibility goes??
