I think many of the problems I highlighted apply to many of the "human sciences", but the problem with psychology imo is that it's the loudest of them all, and certainly the more popular one. So I do not think that sociology is overrated at all, or at least not as overrated as psychology.
But think it this way: The more bandages you put, the better you get at it. So psychology is efficient, if only by the mere fact that it's been doing the same thing for several decades now.
It would be way cooler to be an alchemist rather than a psychologist. And who knows, you might even succeed at summoning a demon ir something.
Psychology can be harmful for sure, since it doesn't know very well what it's doing. But I don't think that psychology as a whole is harmful. There are other factors to take into account. For instance, people 500 years ago didn't have cocaine, and even if they had had it, they wouldn't have been able to produce at the industrial levels we produce it today.

The problem is that it doesn't matter if you analyze thought processes or not. In fact, it doesn't even matter if thoughts exist or not. What matters is getting a working solution.
