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
