Today's psychology is a complete ripoff of the original discipline, an arm of philosophy

One can't make a statement about the mind without an analog reference to its physical containment (body).
If you study philosophy, you won't get much out of it either. Dysfunctional.
Talk about amputation.

Psychology borders on various other fields including physiology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, sociology, anthropology, as well as philosophy and other components of the humanities.[...]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_psychology
