The clinical psychologist has a PhD and focuses on therapy. The psychiatrist is a trained medical Doctor Who has specialized in psychiatry instead of surgery for example. The psychiatrists primary focus these days is based on providing medicine.
They both deal with psychology, but one of them is allowed to prescribe drugs, and I think it's the psychiatrist who is allowed.
Psychology : the science of mind and behavior; the mental and behavioral characterstics of an individual or group. So a Psychologist is the person who studys that. In addition, one difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist is that the Psychiatrist can prescribe medication where the other does not.
In Australia, all psychologists must be registered. To be a registered psychologist you need a four-year degree in psychology with 2 years supervised post graduate experience (during which time you are an intern psychologist). Alternatively, you can do an approved post graduate degree (masters or doctorate). A clinical psychologist is a person who has done the 4 year degree plus a post graduate degree in clinical psychology - usually a clinical masters, clinical doctorate, or a PhD in Clinical Psychology (ie masters crousework and placements and a PhD thesis).
Anything clinical pertains to treatment.
