Clinical psychology is an intergration of science, theory and medical knowledge for the purpose of understanding, relieving and preventing pyschologicaly based distress or dysfunction and to promote subjective well-being and personal developement.

One method Clinical psychologists are trained to use to gather data is by observing behaviour.>>Such assessments look at certain areas, such as general appearance and behaviour, mood and affect... e.t.c.

As such, the results of such assessments are usually used to create generalized impressions (rather than diagnoses).
