Clinical psychologists perform mental health evaluations to diagnose and treat psychological and neuropsychological disorders. They provide individual and group therapy, and assist patients to achieve more effective personal and interpersonal adjustment. They consult with other medical personnel to prescribe treatment. Clinical psychologists generally are not permitted to prescribe medication. Only psychiatrists and other medical doctors may prescribe certain medications.
Some clinical psychologists work in physical rehabilitation settings and others help people deal with times of personal crisis, such as divorce or the death of a loved one.
