Compare and contrast clinical and counseling psychology.

Clinical and counseling psychology both require similar
graduate level training, which includes academic coursework in all of the major areas of
psychology (developmental, psychopathology, social, personality theories, etc.) along
with research and clinical experience.  Where these two branches differ is in their
areas of focus and practice.

Counseling
psychologists often work in business, academic, and private practice
settings where they help people cope with personal challenges and crises, including
academic, vocational, marital, and family issues.  Clinical
psychologists often work in research, hospital, or private practice
settings where they primarily assess and treat patients with mental, behavioral, and
emotional issues.
