Your assessment of psychology is flawed in several ways. The main concern of psychological research isn't to help someone. It's to understand how/why organisms think and behave under certain conditions. Psychological research can be conducted using the scientific method like any other science field. To say "Psychology", as a whole, is similar to snake oil, ignores thousands of perfectly sound findings. Fraud is certainly not unique to the field of psychology. Nor are the pressures to publish positive findings.

Your final thoughts about 'life outcomes from genetics' is incoherent.

I think this is over-sold, but psychology as a field is absolutely closer to philosophy with a veneer of science put on top than the field would have you believe from the outside, and psychology as a job is absolutely not science based day-to-day.

It's worse than that; Pirsig reminds us that psychiatrists are literally thought police. From this perspective, psychology is a mechanism for justifying psychiatric abuses. After all, if psychology can show that minds exist, that there are normal and abnormal minds, that there are correct and incorrect modes of thought, then psychiatry has only to show that certain incorrect modes of thought form clustered disorders and syndromes. The resulting system can punish people for expressing anything which society doesn't like, from sexuality to politics to a desire not to be overworked.
