Clinical psychology is the application of psychology to relieve mental distress in a health and social care context. Clinical psychologists assess mental health problems; conduct and use scientific research to understand mental health problems; develop, provide and evaluate psychological care and interventions ( psychotherapy ). In America, clinical psychologists are defined as having completed a doctoral-level education from an accredited university, usually as part of a training program leading to either a Ph.D. or Psy.D. degree, [1] whereas clinicians with a Masters degree (M.A.) in Clinical Psychology can often practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or psychotherapist . In other countries different levels of training qualify, ranging from the doctoral-level DClinPsy in Britain to an appropriate undergraduate degree in Brazil . |
