"Psychology is an academic and applied discipline that involves the scientific study of mental functions and behaviors."
it probably depends on what area of psychology you study...
if you are doing research on interpreting dreams, then it's probably debatable if that is science...
if you are doing "pavlov's dogs"-type of experiments, it's hard to argue that those experiments are not scientific...

of course a magazine called "Psychology" will exclaim that psychology is science. That doesn't make it so.
