About this Quote

This quote by James M. Baldwin is referring to the area of psychology as well as its background. He is recommending that psychology has actually had a period of pseudo-science, which is a kind of scientific research that is not based on truths or proof, in addition to a period of clinical study. This suggests that psychology has gone through an amount of time where it was not based on facts or proof, and also was rather based on conjecture as well as guesswork. This might be as a result of the reality that psychology is a fairly new field of study, as well as it has taken time for it to turn into an extra scientific area. Baldwin is recommending that psychology has gone through a period of pseudo-science, however has since developed into a much more scientific field. This quote is a suggestion that psychology is still a fairly new field, which it is essential to remain to strive for clinical precision as well as evidence-based research study.
