What is the difference of abnormal psychology to clinical psychology?
Clinical psychology and health psychology are not entirely separated fields of research or practice. Nonetheless, clinical psychology focuses on the causes, prevention, and treatment of abnormal psychological disorders, while health psychology focuses on the causes, prevention and treatment of physical disorders that are impacted by psychological processes. Health psychology grew from clinical psychology as a sub-specialty. It has previously been known as behavioral medicine. How people respond to the dissemination of health education, how they make decisions about harmful behaviors (e.g., smoking or drug use), how they manage complex diseases (e.g., diabetes), how to impact psycho-physiological disorders (e.g., essential hypertension or psychologically induced urticaria), and how to reduce stress that exacerbates physical disorders are instances of the foci of health psychology. A related field that has emerged over the past couple of decades is psycho-neuro-immunology.

What is the difference between the branches of psychology and the fields of psychology?
A field is a very broad area of study. It covers everything within that particular area. In this case, psychology is a field. (biology, medicine, philosophy, anthropology are also fields). A branch is a specific area of study WITHIN the field. Think of it as a tree branch. The field branches out, and each branch focuses on a specific part of the field. In this case, psychology is the field, and branches of psychology would be (but not limited to) abnormal psychology, biological psychology, industrial psychology, criminal psychology, sports psychology, clinical psychology. Each focuses on a particular area, but all belong to the field of psychology. You can personally use psychology (the field) as a tool to learn general things about human behavior.
