Executive Summary — Psychology on Trial: Therapy, Fragmentation, and the Tribunal of Conscience

This podcast episode examines the Tribunal of Conscience’s judgment on psychology as a discipline, testing whether its framework endures under the strain of truth, love, and justice.

• Section I: Background and Framework
  • Defines psychology and its modern aims, highlighting its role in interpreting suffering, identity, and personal meaning.
• Section II: Tribunal Judgment
  • Critiques psychology as a false form, arguing that:
    • Its fragmented account of personhood collapses when ultimate unity is demanded.
    • Its understanding of love reduces to emotional or therapeutic categories, lacking fullness.
    • Its approach to justice remains therapeutic rather than moral, unable to address structural wrongs.
  • Concludes that psychology collapses under ultimate strain.
• Section III: Evaluation of the Judgment
  • Acknowledges the Tribunal’s strengths in exposing psychology’s limits.
  • Notes potential weaknesses: overstating the need for unity and undervaluing psychology’s therapeutic impact.
• Section IV: Tribunal Response
  • Directly addresses these counterarguments.
  • Restates that psychology’s therapeutic strength does not equate to moral coherence.
  • Reaffirms the judgment that psychology, as a form, is ultimately false under triune strain.
• Section V: Invitation to the Listener
  • Challenges listeners to weigh both perspectives in conscience.
  • The question is left open: is psychology a valuable but partial tool or a false form that cannot bear the weight of ultimate truth, love, and justice?
