Clinical psychology is concerned with assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of clinical and personality disorders. Specialty areas include adolescent and adult mental health, learning disabilities, emotional health, substance abuse, personality functioning, trauma, aging, and health psychology. Clinical psychological assessments include the use of tools and techniques of psychology to learn general or specific facts about a person and include evaluation of personality, psychopathological symptoms, cognitive and neuropsychological processes, and interpersonal behaviour. Diagnosis involves the determination of the cause, nature, or manifestation of a psychological condition based on signs, symptoms, and findings drawn from a psychological assessment. Psychological treatment and prevention involves the application of evidence-based practices, tools, and technique to alleviate or avert psychological difficulties.
