I know Darsee, a prominent psychologist and professor at Harvard, falsified most of his data.  Someone notified the NIMH and his data was analyzed and concluded to be falsified.  He lost his job and his reputation.

INTRODUCTION\nFor starters, psychology must be distinguished from behavioural science and psychiatry from neuromedicine. Psychology and psychiatry are subtly different to each other but it's important to realise that neither are scientific disciplines- they are pseudosciences.\n\nWHAT PSYCHOLOGY IS NOT\nPsychology is not behavioural science. Behavioural science is about observing the behaviour of living creatures and drawing conclusions about that behaviour and its causes and its consequences. The context of the behavioural science could be anything from criminology to neuromedicine.\n\nWHAT PSYCHIATRY IS NOT\nPsychiatry is not neuromedicine. Neuromedicine is about healing a physical, observable anomoly in tissue that is causing a problem with the nervous system resulting in observable, behavioural symptoms such as tardive dyskinsea, motor disfunction, etc. or at the very least treating the conditions and problems that arise from the neurological problem if it cannot be mended. Neuromedicine is genuine medicine and it is entirely scientific. Genuine neurophysicians are not psychiatrists.\n\nWHAT PSYCHOLOGY IS\nPsychology comes from the Greek word "psuche" which refers to the soul, spirit or mind of a person. Behavioural studies are science but making suggestive comments about the mind, soul and spirit is the realm of religion. Psychology is not science; it is pseudoscience. Psychology, by making statements about the mind, soul and spirit- in unbiblical terms- is simply another false religion. The ideas in psychology (i.e. the religious ideology) is all about "self-" me me me. It is ideological in the very same way that communism, naziism and all other fascist movements are ideological. The ideology is pushed down people's throats but made to look "gentle." So "psychotherapy" is made to look helpful and dressed up as medicine. But it has NO FACTUAL BASIS. It is a false religion. Because it has no factual basis, coersion is utilised to ensure people follow it. This is where psychiatry comes in.\n\nWHAT PSYCHIATRY IS\nPsychiatry is a coersive, controlling regime. It is witchdoctoring under the guise of medicine. The religious ideology of psychology is pedalled but it is rammed down people's throats with threats of terrible torture, mutilation, poisoning, incarceration, segregation and deprivation of livelihood. Psychiatrists lie to people. They make out that man ought to be a self-serving entity and that he has no need for God. Hypnosis using mind-altering drugs is practiced to weaken people's resolve. The Greek word for this hypnosis is "pharmakeia" which is translated in The Bible as witchcraft (Gal 5:20). The drugs in psychiatry are usually seen as different to the drugs on the street but in fact they do the very same thing as the street drugs people use "illegally" to get high. In fact sometimes the drugs in psychiatry are the very same drugs as the ones on the street. The coersion and control doesn't just stop with poisoning people with drugs. Incarceration without trial is routinely used and, in the context of psychological indoctrination, this is just inquisition. Other tactics are used which are equally violent. The victim of psychiatry is usually branded for life in a way that makes him out to be subhuman, a "diseased" subcitizen, a criminal with a record but no evidence of a crime, a punishable target for bullies on fat salaries with no moral backbone but great tendency to judge others.\n\nCONCLUSION\nSo here's your answer: psychology and psychiatry are witchcraft and witchdoctoring. They come under the collective term "witchery" which is just plain and simply false religion. It is a violent, coersive regime and a load of rubbish.

Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss\n\nFrom 1988.  A story based on a psychiatrist and his patient where he discovers all the past lives she has lived.  It goes through how this girl knew things about his past that she could not have possibly known but knew due to her past lives.\n\nModified to add this: Synopsis \nMANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS is an engrossing and compelling look into the subject of reincarnation and past-life therapy. Dr. Brian Weiss was a successful and conservative psychotherapist when he met the subject of his book, Catherine, a young woman having problems with anxiety and depression. After exhausting his usual course of treatment with no success, Dr. Weiss turned to hypnotherapy. While under hypnosis, Catherine began speaking of a place she referred to as "between lives," a realm of spirit guides who had messages for this world. She also spoke of her own past lives and described events that could possibly explain her current phobias and fears. Dr. Weiss was understandably skeptical until Catherine began telling him about his own deceased son. With this verifiable information, Dr. Weiss felt he had discovered his life's work: to educate the world about past lives and their potential for healing. Dr. Weiss weaves science and metaphysics into a well-paced narrative that reads more like a mystery than nonfiction. Throughout the engrossing plot, Dr. Weiss builds a strong case for his theory that past lives can unconsciously influence present-day living. MANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS has become a classic in the field of reincarnation studies and past-life therapy.

The Psychology Program at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, is the only one I know of.  I wouldn't recommend it, unless most of the old-fogey faculty from the 80s has died off or retired.  It is a public university, but you might want to check it out anyway.  For all I know, there might be a whole new batch of really enlightened faculty by now.

A good book to read about this is Sleep Thieves by Stanley Coren. He tells a few stories of people who tried to sustain wakefulness. \n\nOne famous case is the disc jockey Peter Tripp who in 1959 stayed up for more than eight days as a promotional stunt. After a few days, he began to hallucinate, seeing kittens, mice, and cobwebs. He also became paranoid, insisting that an electrician had dropped a hot electrode into his shoe. \n\nIn 1964 high school student Randy Gardner (17) attempted to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest time awake -- 260 hours. And after 11 days without sleep he suffered no hallucinations or paranoia and no psychotic symptoms. But Coren challenges this often repeated fact in his book. Coren describes the day-by-day impact on Randy, as documented by John Ross of the US Navy Medical europsychiatric Research Unit in San Diego. Randy had trouble focusing his eyes on day 2, hallucinations on day 4, and slurred speech and a short attention span by the last day. \n\nCertainly there are drugs such as caffeine, cocaine and amphetamines that keep you awake, but these cannot sustain you for very long.

I've dragged out my old 1st year psych paper for you, I hope it helps!\n\nThe Humanistic approach was introduced in response to the limitations of psychodynamic theories, namely that it failed to address the meaning of behaviour and healthy growth. Humanistic psychology emphasises the study of the entire person, and that one’s behaviour is associated with self-image and emotions. This approach has philosophical roots in phenomenology and existentialism (Gross, 1996). Cohen coined the phrase ‘Humanistic Psychology’ in his book of the same name (1958, as cited in Gross 1996), and Maslow first introduced the ‘third force’ of psychological approaches, the other two being the psychoanalytic theory and behaviourism, in the same year. Fundamentally, the humanistic approach considers that a person’s behaviour is determined principally by the world around them but is not exclusively a product of the environment, and that people are driven to fulfill their potential. Rogers and Maslow are considered the most well known humanistic psychologists.\n \nCarl Rogers’ theory of self states that healthy development occurs through how the individual perceives their own being. The self is an ordered series of beliefs and perceptions, and most behaviour is explained in terms of endeavors to achieve constancy between self-image and actions (Gross, 1996).  It is when this congruence is not attained, such as through divergent actions and feelings, that defense mechanisms and distortion may deny access to awareness, and as a result threat, anxiety, and depression may be experienced (Butcher et al., 2004). Severe and persistent incongruence can lead to a disintegration of personality: psychoticism. The level of congruence can therefore be seen as a measure of mental health. However, Rogers regarded people as highly individual and unique and thus did not believe in diagnostic labeling. Roger’s view of humanity is also very positive; he said “There is no beast in man, there is only man in man” (1961, as cited in Gross 1996). He believes that there is a drive toward self-actualisation in every person, a concept that was also shared by Maslow. \n\nAbraham Maslow’s theory emphasises motivation as the impetus to understanding behaviour. He established the hierarchy of needs; a general pattern of needs recognition that needs to be satisfied in order to reach self-actualisation. It is often shown in the shape of a pyramid, with the basic needs at the broad-bottom.  It rises from physiological needs at the bottom, safety, love and belonging, and esteem, to self-actualisation at the peak. Prepotency, satisfaction at each level, is required to finally reach self-actualisation: the ambition of every person’s life (Gawel, 1997, as cited in Eysenck 1998). \n\nHumanistic therapy therefore combines aspects from both these theories to understand how to treat mental disorders. Humanistic psychologists are not concerned with past experiences or instinctual drives; instead they focus on integrating and actualising the self. Conscious choices, internal needs and response, and present circumstances form the basis of humanistic therapy. The therapist attempts to create a therapeutic atmosphere where clients can integrate the self. It is often referred to as client-centered therapy because the word ‘client’ as opposed to ‘patient’ implies that the person is responsible for the treatment. The objective of therapy is to allow the client to be himself, free from threat. The therapist has three main duties. The first is to show genuineness and emotional involvement, and not to hide behind professional impersonality. Secondly, the therapist must show unconditional positive regard: complete acceptance of the client as they are at the current time and non-judgement of any of the client’s feelings or actions. Finally, emphatic understanding is essential. The therapist must attempt to enter the inner world of the client through careful listening a

Thirty Nine Steps for Richard Hannay \n(the man in the book The 39 Steps by John Buchan)

An examination of the main character, Meursault, in "The Stranger" by Albert Camus would be excellent.  The book is a quick read, only about 120 pages or so.   One theme of the book deals with people's perceptions and the idea that just because people think something to be true does not make it true.  \n\nMany people judge the guilt of the main character based on certain observations of his behaviour, but none that should factor into his culpability regarding a certain act he commits.    \n\n(If you choose this topic, buy the Cliff Notes to read after you have read the book.  Quite fascinating.)
