ABSTRACT

Clinical psychology is a branch of psychology devoted to understanding mental health problems in individuals and developing effective treatments for the full spectrum of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders one may experience; depression, anxiety disorders, interpersonal difficulties, and psychotic disorders are but a few.

As a group, clinical psychologists are skilled in clinical practice as well as research on clinical problems and clinical interventions (University of Glasgow, 2014).
