What is Clinical Psychology?
At The Chicago School, we define clinical psychology as the branch of psychology concerned with the assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment of mental illness and disability.
History of Clinical Psychology at The Chicago School
For more than 40 years, The Chicago School’s clinical psychology programs have trained clinical psychologists in assessment, case conceptualization, and evidence-based models of psychotherapy. Graduates are prepared to work with clients of all ages to promote optimal personality development, emotional health, and well-being.
As engaged members of their communities, clinical psychologists utilize their skills and knowledge of cultural and individual differences to help clients with a variety of needs, ranging from conflicts impacting relationships, workplace, or school environments to more severe situations involving phobias, affective disorders, or more severe mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
