You just gave me a wonderful, if unexpected, insight into the psychologists' world.
This is a larger problem of current psychology: it internalizes everything into behavior and body functions, learned practices and chemistry, and forgets there is a world out there outside the person (a common ailment of contemporary society).
I have a few practising psychologists in my extended family and the above explains quite a bit of their behavior. (Not that I expect them to acknowledge that.)
