Quotes on psychology/doctors/medical:

"When psychological scientists speak to or write for general audiences, they
should take the opportunity to model the key themes of scientific and
critical thinking: that what we know is inseparable from how we know it;
that opinions must be based on evidence; that not all opinions have equal
validity; and that science gives us probabilities - only pseudoscience gives
us certainties." - Carol Tavris, Social Psychologist. In APS Observer (2001)



"Of course Behaviorism 'works.' So does torture. Give me a no-nonsense,
down-to-earth Behaviourist, a few drugs, and simple electrical appliances,
and in six months I will have him reciting the Athanasian creed in
public." - W. H. Auden (1907-1973). English poet. A Certain World: A
Commonplace Book (1970)



"If X is an interesting or socially significant aspect of memory, then
psychologists have hardly ever studied X." - Ulric Neisser, Cognitive
Psychologist. In Practical Aspects of Memory (1978)



"Memory is the quintessence of human experience without which we cannot make
progress, cannot learn from experience, and cannot develop a personal
identity." - David Chamberlain



"Every human being is uniquely different. That is a fundamental truth all
psychologists ignore while attempting to prove their theories of human
behavior - and the obvious reason they will always fail." - Dr. Leon



"Medical scientists are nice people, but you should not let them treat
you." -August Bier (1861-1949), German surgeon



"Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for
medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake
medicine for magic." -Thomas Szasz, M.D.
