  1. Do you have in mind white-labcoat psychologists or clinical psychologists or both?

    1. 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.

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