The reality is that all humanities, not just psychology, do not claim to be value-free. In other words, psychologists (the serious ones) do NOT claim:

1) that patients biases aren't reflected in their research

2) that their own biases aren't reflected in their research

And of course ... there's the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment

(note that in the Rosenhan experiment, ALL examined psychiatrists had a false positive rate of 100%. Anything significantly over 50%, of course, can only be caused by systematic fraud. That's 12 separate institutions, 20 psychiatrists, in 5 US states. ALL frauds (willing to diagnose patient with an illness despite having no confidence in them actually being ill)
