Contemporary Clinical Psychology

The goals, activities, and contributions of contemporary clinical
psychology are very appealing to many who are fascinated by
human behavior and relationships. The enormous popularity of psychology
as an undergraduate major; of clinical psychology as a career
option; and of popular press psychology books, movies, and
television shows is a testament to the inherent interest of clinical
psychology. The goal of clinical psychology is noble: to use the principles
of psychology and our understanding of human behavior to
promote health, happiness, and quality of life.
