Faith in Psychology as a Science

Abstract

The materials of the discussion about the relationship between religion and psychology are being considered. It is stated that psychology can be scientific and ecclesiastic. However the dialogue between these two psychologies is hardly possible because their statements are grounded differently: the scientific psychology is substantiated by experience and logic, the ecclesiastical one - by the authority of the Holy Writ and church hierarchs. Moreover, many of the discussed issues arose due to the simple fact that the level of scientific psychology development is not high.
