What is clinical psychology? It is the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental disorders, thus making it the biggest sub-field in the psychology industry. The majority of psychology students tend to approach this field more than the other sub-fields due to one major reason. The reason is that the psychologist is able to interact with his/her patient or patients. This can make the patient feel more comfortable and be more open with the psychologist. When the patients can openly converse with the psychologist, it would easier to diagnose the patient and to indicate a proper treatment.
The first time I noticed this sub-field, I was completely drawn in. The feeling of being to help others by just listening is something that anyone would love to feel. It does not matter if the person is a stranger or a friend. As long as you know in you heart that you lift up a heavy burden inside that person is enough.
