Psychology is considerably broader than psychiatry, but really, you need to temper your frothing hate a bit. A year after a cutting edge change, and professionals haven't rearranged their lives around it? Welcome to the real world. Even in the fast-paced world of IT, new things are rarely put into production that fast.
But even in the rest of medicine, it takes a long time. There are heaps of doctors out there that are practising decades-old medicine. I remember seeing Patch Adams speak about 15 years ago - he mentioned that when he did his medical degree, there was a total of one hour spent on preventative medicine, and that the curriculum hadn't changed to date, despite the immense amounts of research and cultural shift around it.
Anyway, you'll find the same thing in plenty of fields - people doing practical science are usually a ways behind people doing theoretical science.

Psychologist are doing neither practical nor theoretical science. Were this not so, if any useful science was coming out of psychological research or practice, it would long since have united the field behind theories that would forge a consensus about what the field means. This is true in physics, it's true in biology, it's true in geology, it's not true in psychology.
