what does a clinical child psychologist do
Clinical child psychologists help children with behavioral and psychological issues by employing methods such as play therapy, psychotherapy and hypnosis. Psychologists may treat children in private practice, hospitals or mental health facilities.
The duties of a clinical child psychologist include providing assessment through interviews, psychological tests and analysis of the child's history. Psychologists may then prepare a diagnosis and treatment plan, such as psychotherapy, behavior modification, hypnosis or play therapy.
