What is the training of a clinical psychologist?
|
In Australia, a Clinical Psychologist must have completed post-graduate training in Clinical Psychology with a minimum qualification of Master of Clinical Psychology equating to at least six years of University training in Psychology.
|
Clinical psychology does not involve the prescription of medications. Instead, we try to understand the origin of the problem and work together to change thinking patterns and behavioural patterns to reduce the distress you are experiencing.
