Welcome to KGCPA website! - this is the official website of the Association of Clinical Psychologists working in Kerala Government Services.
 

About Us:

Clinical psychology is a broad field of practice and research within the discipline of psychology, which applies psychological principles. It has a broad approach to human problems (both individual and interpersonal) consisting of assessment, diagnosis, consultation, treatment, program development, administration, and research with regard to numerous populations, including children, adolescents, adults, the elderly, families, groups, and disadvantaged persons. There is overlap between some areas of clinical psychology and other professional fields of psychology such as counselling psychology and clinical neuropsychology, as well as some professional fields outside of psychology, such as psychiatry and social work.
