Psychologists, All Other
Life, Physical, and Social Science
Day to day, the work mixes assessment, counseling, and research. Clients are evaluated, treatment plans are written and carried out, and confidential records are kept. Time also goes to studying psychological questions and working with other healthcare professionals. Because the role covers psychologists outside a more specific specialty, the mix of therapy, testing, and research can vary. It suits people who like careful listening, structured evaluation, and keeping detailed records while working with both clients and colleagues.
