When is a belief or practice said to be related to science and technology?
When it is rational and therefore based on current understanding. Doesn't mean it is always correct, so belief can change with changing scientific knowledge.
Can psychology and Christianity be integrated?
Integrate Psychology and Christianity?Hmmm. Interesting. My initial reaction would be no, because psychology is science based and Christianity or any religion is largely faith based. But that would then preclude psychologists from being religious (and vice versa). I think that's probably unlikely. So I think your question should be HOW can you integrate the two (presumably into some major ism like Jungianism), and that I do not know. PhilAnswerNo jesus said in Matthew ch 6:verse24 No man can serve two masters:for he will either hate the one,and love the other;or else he will hold to the one,and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Mammon comes from the babylonian"mimma"and means"anything at all"AnswerWell let's see, if we look at existentialism as utilized by christian existentialists, the general outlook could be yes. Most christian existentialists hold the belief that their existence is determined by God. This is because he had the idea of each individual person planned out before they're born(or created). What that person becomes is the product of what God intended them to be "called to do" in their life. Now with that said, if we take existential therapy, and utilize an incorporation of bible passages in to therapy (ala bibliotherapy) then one could say that an individual could use various bible passages as an inspiration to help them find their purpose in life (or meaning to their life) by following God's will. This, I think, could be one way for psychology and Christianity to be intergrated.

Why philosophy called as science?
It's because the German word "Philosophie" is feminine that it's called *queen* rather than *king* of the sciences. The word translated as "queen" is *Herrin*, literally "mistress", in the sense of a female master; but translating it as "mistress" would of course be misleading. Philosophy should be master of the sciences, because, to speak with Heidegger, science does not think. Philosophy itself is not a science, not even the "absolute science". It is something intrinsically different to science. Nietzsche said psychology should be the queen of the sciences, but not as something intrinsically different, but as one science among others (even as a king is one man among others). Psychology should be the king of the sciences, according to him, and philosophy should be like their God. This is because philosophy first gives the sciences a purpose
Is it possible to get a liberal arts degree in psycology?
Answer 1: Any "Associate of Arts" (AA) or "Bachelor of Arts" (BA) degree is a "liberal arts" degree. And schools which offer both of those degrees usually offer "psychology" as a major. So, the answer, categorically, is "yes."However, psychology is what's called a "social science." Note the word "science" in that phrase. Therefore, at many schools -- most, in fact, I'd wager -- a degree in psychology will tend to be a science degree......such as an "Associate of Science (AS) in Psychology," or a "Bachelor of Science (BS) in Psychology." The salient difference between an AA/BA and an AS/BS is that the AS/BS degrees are going to require a little bit more math and science coursework than would an AA/BA degrees.The reason you're asking, I'll bet, is because you're hoping that you can get a psychology degree without having to take as much math and science courses as a typical AS/BS degree requires. You'd rather do the lesser amount of math/science that a typical AA/BA degree requires. That's understandable, but becausee psychology is a social science, there's going to be a certain amount of math/science that you're going to have to take to get the degree, no matter what.In fact, get this: Some colleges/universities are required by their accreditors, for whatever reasons, to award only AA/BA degrees (and not AS/BS degrees) in certain subjects which other schools normally award only as AS/BS degrees. So some students enroll at such AA/BA-centric ("liberal arts") schools thinking that maybe they can avoid taking all the additional math/science courses typically associated with AS/BS degrees... even if they major in psychology! However, even in a case like that, one must still take all the math and science (and statistics, too) courses that any good psychology degree, regardless of school, would typically require. It's simply unavoidable; and the reason is because all such schools are "regionally" accredited, and the regional accreditors simply won't allow a psychology degree to be awarded by any of their accredited schools if said degrees don't contain enough math/science.So, if you want a psychology degree (and, by the way, you'll definitely learn how to spell it, if you pursue such a degree), then you're going to have to take pretty much the same amount of math/science, whether the degree is designated as an AA/BA or an AS/BS. A certain amount of math, science and statistics is required of all social science degrees. An psychology is a social science degree. So just bite the bullet and take it!Seriously, though, there's no reason to fear math and/or science. Really... I'm not kidding. People get it in their heads that it's hard, but it really isn't. There's simply a mindset -- a way of thinking -- that needs to be assumed; and then a simple logical thought process that needs to be employed, and suddenly math and science become easy... fun, even! I'm serious. Students get it in their heads that math and science is hard, and then they fear it. But there are courses you can take out there, online -- some of them even free -- that will help you to get past your fear of math and/or science. They're really excellent! And they work! Once you're no longer afraid of math/science; and once you can easily work through courses in those subjects, you'll stop being afraid of getting a psychology degree that's an AS or BS, rather than an AA or BA. Just Google phrases like "fear of math" or "fear of science" and start reading. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Is the word soul acceptable in the field of psychology?
The word soul, according to most psychologists, is unscientific. It has been discarded long ago, and no reputable writer on psychology uses it now. Today only philosophers, ministers and poets use it, and most of them uses it apologetically. The reasons why science abolishes the word 'soul'. First, it was the soul, with all religious, moral, and metaphysical implications. Psychology, as its name indicates, began as the science of the soul. Psychologists, however, began doubting the scientific validity of the soul, because they resented its philosophical associations. They jettisoned it and put in its place the term 'mind'. Psychology became the science of the mind. But even 'mind' was not good enough. It was abstract and nebulous as the word 'soul'. They got rid of it and took the word 'consciousness', Psychology became a science of consciousness. But what are we conscious of at any given moment? The structuralists came in and introduced the concept of of 'mental states'. We are, according to them, conscious only of mental states. Psychology became the science of mental states. But are there really mental states? Are there not only 'mental functions'? The functionalist psychologists redefined psychology and called it the science of mental functions. Entered Watson and his behaviorists. Mental functions, they said, are not directly observable. They are subjective. They can be reached only by introspection. And introspection is not scientific. In fact, all we can observe is behavior, the obvert behavior of the organism interacting with its environment. Beyond this we can only surmise and speculate. We cannot be scientific. In reducing psychology to the science of behavior, Watson has also reduced it to physiology and anatomy. Thus, modern psychologists talk of 'consciousness', but discuss the nervous system. Talk of the 'mind' but discuss the areas and fissures of the brain. Lecture on the 'emotions' but explain the endocrine glands. Analyze the 'personality', but reduce it to the body. At the end, the modern psychologists teach physiology and anatomy instead of psychology.
