Is psychology a science?

Yes - there are many psychological controlled experiments with human beings that were succesfully replicated throughout history, such as this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment

The average psychology degree holder that does therapy sessions is very far from being a scientist though (and most of the stuff these people read as well)

It's a social science. It's not on the same level as something like physics. Psychiatry on the other hand is more of a science as that is a medical specialty which employs principles of pharmacology/chemistry and neuroscience/biology.

Science should be judged on empirical results on their own, not on which kind of theory it employs

I never took antipsychotics. Psychiatry is not a science and your attitude is the exact reason why it stays that way and keeps hurting people.

Not in the slightest. Sciences are those where the results can be consistently repeated all around the world given the same variables and testing methods. Nothing in psychology can have consistent repeatable results. It is akin to a shamen throwing bones and astrology.

>>10842955
Completely incorrect.
