Abstract
Abstract The scientific status of psychology is not often questioned nowadays. Psychologists in America, and to a lesser extent the rest of the world, are accepted and know they are accepted as scientists. However the profession is still subject to sniping from the ranks of philosophers who have not yet abandoned the Bradleian heresy: Louch (1966) is the latest in a long line to renew the assault. This fact and the low intellectual level of the arguments usually adduced in the opening pages of introductory texts in an attempt to show that psychology is, of course, as everyone knows, a science, may be regarded as reason enough for reviewing the question periodically. In the writer's view, on a proper consideration of the facts psychology turns out to be at least one science, more probably two, but proper consideration of the facts leads to some other rather unexpected conclusions.
