Aren't we finding out that certain mental disorders correlate with reduced brain sizes in specific regions of the brain (schizophrenia is the one I've heard the most about)? While phrenology might have been bullshit it might not be true that measurement of the brain can't or couldn't someday help diagnose mental disorders. I've never heard Socrates credited with the development of the scientific method, Aristotle usually gets that nod but I suppose that Aristotle wouldn't have come up with his ideas without Socratic training.
