What makes clinical psychology to be different from other field of psychology?

Answer 1

Clinical psychologists practice therapy and assess mental illnesses, whereas other types of psychologists might do research, teach, work for the government or law enforcement, etc.

Clinical psychologists don't actually work in clinics. They typically work in what might be considered the "science" part of psychology. Generally, PhD's are clinical psychologists. Most professors and researchers are clinical psychologists. Counseling psychologists are the ones who work in clinics (ironically). Counseling psychologists work with clients to assess and treat mental health.

Industrial/Organizational Psychology typically work within corporations to help them work together more efficiently. They research and improve work environments, they might add to marketing, they used to be the human resource department but not so much any more.

Clinical psychology focuses on assessing and treating mental health disorders in individuals through therapy and interventions, while other fields of psychology may focus on researching various aspects of human behavior or cognition. Clinical psychologists often work directly with clients in clinical settings to address specific psychological issues and promote mental wellness.

Answer 3

Generally speaking they are both the same. Sometimes colleges call it abnormal psychology and sometimes it is called clinical psychology.
