The field of clinical/counseling psychology is an applied branch of psychology that integrates science, theory, and practice to understand, predict, and alleviate maladjustment, disability and discomfort. It also promotes human adaptation, adjustment, and personal development. Clinical/counseling psychology focuses on the intellectual, emotional, biological, psychological, social, and behavioral aspects of human functioning across the life span, in varying cultures, and at all socioeconomic levels.
Practitioners of clinical/counseling psychology work directly with individuals at all developmental levels (infants to older adults) as well as groups (families, and patients, of similar psychopathology and organizations) using a wide range of assessment and intervention methods to promote mental health and alleviate discomfort and maladjustment.
To qualify to practice clinical/counseling psychology, one must have earned a doctorate from a clinical/counseling psychology program.
Unique to clinical/counseling psychology training is the requirement of substantial course work in the areas of personality and psychopathology, resulting in a comprehensive understanding of adjustment and maladjustment across the life span.
In the State of California, laws and regulations relating to the practice of psychology is issued by the Board of Psychology. No person may engage in the practice of psychology, without a license granted by this board.
