Excellent article. What I find surprising about many psychological studies is that they try to analyze why a particular therapy works or doesn't work, but no one seems motivated to find out why -- to shape a scientific, testable theory about therapy. This applies with equal justice to psychology itself -- it's nearly all description without explanation. This may explain why psychology is gradually being eclipsed by neuroscience.
