Request for a post about psychology

שו”תCategory: generalRequest for a post about psychology
asked 6 years ago

Hello, thanks for the wonderful site!
I have a request: In many places, the Rabbi has written against psychology, saying that it is not scientific and is even full of nonsense and nonsense.
If I may, I invite you to do an extended post on the subject. I would be very happy if the Rabbi would dedicate a post to the subject – is there a possibility?

Maybe. I’ll think about it.

I agree with the request. Although I'm sure I'll regret it and there will be a crisis in the faith of the wise… ?

And if I may express a personal opinion, there are many psychological theories and methods that fight each other in the professional literature until blood is shed (each method belittles its friend and claims that it is superficial or focuses on the wrong areas of experience). Although there are theories that are not scientific like the natural sciences that are based on mathematics, they are certainly not nonsense, the theories describe mental functions, which function in an illogical and quite symbolic way.

I also join the request!

Shai, I'll just point out that mathematics is just a language. That's not what distinguishes the natural sciences from the physical sciences.

As someone who studies behavioral sciences, a significant part of which is psychology, and yet a great lover of philosophy and critical thinking, I join the request.
I am very interested to see what the rabbi (who I think is a very impressive philosopher and has a very sharp intellect) thinks about the subject.

I, the little one, also join in the requests. Maybe he will give, maybe he will write…
