Censorship?

I submitted an ad for my book to the Monitor on Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association. It was rejected. A similar ad was submitted to Psychology Today and was accepted.

I claim that, although it is classified as one of the social sciences, psychology is not really a science because its practitioners are not required to follow the scientific method.

Whether psychology is or is not a science is an open question. When I typed “is psychology a science?” into the google search box, I found 1,110 websites that discussed the issue.

The rejection of my ad stops the free flow of knowledge and debate on a subject of great importance to psychology and to society.
