Hi A Columbia psychology graduate student gives an incoherent diatribe against scientific approaches in the humanities and social sciences, including psychology.
http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/literally-psyched/2012/08/10/humanities-arent-a-science-stop-treating-them-like-one/ One example of the questionable reasoning is to move from a Kagan quote critical of explaining psychological phenomena solely at the neuronal level to a damning of quantitative methods, as though emergent psychological phenomena were not amenable to quantitative (i.e., scientific) approaches.
