Epilogue: Limitations of Scientific Research

I thought that this final section of the book was very well written and helped remind myself that although Psychology has many obstacles ahead of itself, being the newly formed science field that it is, it is still worth studying. One question I had was why there aren't more regulations in place to keep psychology more accountable to itself as a field, instead of allowing it to become heavily subject to those who are in power? Or is this just a naive idea, because of the fact that any people(s) in power are subject to bias, agenda, and any other humanizing characteristic?
