Clinical psychology
Clinical psychology is the branch of psychology devoted to the study, assessment, and treatment of mental disorders, abnormal behavior, and psychiatric problems. In addition, since 2000 the field has also focused on integrating the science of positive psychology (e.g., strengths, accomplishment, productive social functioning, happiness) into its study, assessment, and treatment models.
