I would guess few psychiatrists can follow details of fMRI data processing methods, so their faith in it has another basis. Confronted with the extreme nebulosity of human mental dysfunction, having SOME authoritative knowledge source must be reassuring?
Something I’m still not getting here... what role do you see radiologists playing here?

That may be the wrong term. What do you call the technical doctors who read the actual fMRI imagery? Radiologists do x-rays, so I assume fMRIs is also them or there’s a separate breed. Or do neurologists and psychologists etc directly read the images without intermediaries?

They read research papers written by scientists who interpreted the fMRI signal, which is derived from the raw data via various non-standard analytical software packages.
