The author of the paper shows contradictions, which exist between the «scientific» truth (the ascertained facts) and the «psychological» (humanitarian) truth. In the second case, one can talk about concepts, which do not exist and cannot be achieved in reality, but bring benefit to most of the individuals as mental constructs. The author makes a conclusion that contemporary psychology in its present-day construction cannot become a full-fledged discipline, which meets generally accepted scientific criteria.
