Psychologie clinique et psycho-pathologique/clinical psychology

Résumé

Clinical psychologists work to understand, prevent, and treat psychological problems. When people are distressed, unable to cope with problems due to stress, or engage in behaviours that are maladaptive in their social context, clinical psychologists are available to assist them. They assess clients, form diagnoses, and provide appropriate treatments. The goals of diagnosis and treatment are to observe and understand the difficulties experienced by people of all ages and to assist them by promoting subjective well-being, adaptive behaviours, and/or ongoing personal development. Psychologists can work with clients who have been diagnosed with serious psychological disorders or clients who are average individuals who wish to improve some aspect of their personal development. In the series of texts presented in this section of the book, authors will discuss a range of issues covered by clinical psychologists, including diagnosis and classification of personality disorders, different types of psychopathology, and how to cope with some of these difficulties.
