Do clinical psychologists not believe in the soul? I suppose they have a scientistic bias carried over from the late 19th century (with additional zeal due to a feeling of insecurity). But they do believe in the psychodynamic unconscious, which strikes me as close enough for government work.
Do you have in mind white-labcoat psychologists or clinical psychologists or both?

Delete"Psyche" is the Greek word for soul, by the way.
