Bones Activity--Is Psychology a Science?

After watching the video clip from the TV show Bones in which Dr. Brennan argues that Dr. Sweets could not possibly understand the thoughts or actions of a criminal by using psychology (what she considers to be a fake science), do you agree or disagree with her sentiments about Psychology as a science of understanding how humans think and behave?

Use what you know from our past two units to help support your answer. Give at least 3 different reasons for your agreement with Dr. Brennan or your disagreement with her.

Make sure to respond to at least one classmate that disagrees with your point of view.
