The titled "Father of Western Psychology", Sigmund Freud, has been considered disproven. However, his disciple Carl Jung has not been considered disproven to this day, and today's psychiatrists still follow his model for diagnosis which Carl Jung admitted himself that he borrowed ideas from astrology to develop it.
Carl Jung developed the DSM categorical model for psychiatric diagnosis based on Astrology:
It was the Swiss psychoanalyst, Carl Jung, who first recognized the vast potential of astrology as a tool for exploring the depths of the human psyche. In various writings throughout his life, Jung made reference to his profound respect for astrology. He asserted that astrology had a great deal to contribute to psychology and admitted to having employed it with some frequency in his analytic work with clients. In cases of difficult psychological diagnosis, Jung would draw up a horoscope in order to have a further point of view from an entirely different angle. "I must say," said Jung, "that I very often found that the astrological data elucidated certain points which I otherwise would have been unable to understand" (1948)
The current model for diagnosis attempts to fit people into categories of behavior, much like in astrology. It is considered that the current model for psychiatric diagnosis is scientifically meaningless, although it is still widely practiced to this day.
