title: Emergence vs. reductionism.
abstract: Lilienfeld (see record 2011-12007-001) made several cogent points regarding "public skepticism of psychology." He persuasively documented the prevalence of public skepticism with regard to psychology. He also provided sound rebuttals to six common criticisms of psychology. This comment addresses two substantial omissions regarding his discussion of psychology's "Illusion of Understanding" (p. 120) and "Greedy Reductionism" (p. 120).
