Description	In the article we examine the suitability of applying Thomas Kuhn’s philosophy of science onto psychology. We conclude, that using terms like scientific revolution or paradigm isn’t justified enough when reflecting history or present status of psychology. Especially regarding diversity in psychology, we think there are other, more useful concepts like Lakatos’s research program, or Laudan’s research tradition.
