Except in a few places, clinical psychologists do not have the authorization to prescribe drugs to treat mental disease. They instead employ psychological treatments including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychoanalytic therapy. Before they may meet patients and apply these procedures, clinical psychologists must generally obtain a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in clinical psychology. In certain states and provinces, however, a master's degree is sufficient. Clinical psychologists' professional activities are governed by a licencing board and/or a professional college in the majority of states and provinces. Being aware of and successfully applying ethical and legal principles. Developing productive interactions with others, including clients, colleagues, and the general public. Continuous self-evaluation and constant endeavour to enhance treatment approaches.
