Tania says psychology is an exact science and legitimate field of study. People's motives can always be categorized and their abnormalities measured. Tests, questionnaires and background studies can always pick out the child-molesters and potential alcoholics.
Andrew contends that psychology is too subjective and infinite an area to be studied in an organized way. If you were to categorize motives and abnormalities, there would be as many categories as there are people in the world. If you're good with people, you know everything there is to know about psychology. And if you aren't, well, no amount of studying the subject is going to get you anywhere.
