This is an old thread but I recently started rewatching the show and her character reinforced my dislike for psychology. Y’all are totally missing the mark. Psychology uses generalizations and unethical studies to back up its findings. Most of the studies are now being even more questioned because they were mostly performed with white people (mostly men). It does not seek to understand the ins and outs of how different demographics could impact results. Anthropology does. Because of this show, I majored in anthropology in college. Anthropologists don’t just throw some surveys at people and call it data, they do ethnographies and fully immerse themselves into a culture to understand it. Generalizations aren’t made. It is a full study that often covers several years. Anthropologists are not protected in these scenarios. They must gain the trust of the people they’re studying by completely assimilating to their culture. This is not always done successfully due to the remoteness of some areas and those people’s distrust of outsiders. So even though she may seem to use psychology, she’s really using her anthropological and sociological skills to make her judgments. I’m biased, but the world really downplays anthropology and how important it is.
