Psychologist Mr. Arvind Kumar
“Gaurav” (Gold Medalist) said in our Interview that Psychologists are trained
in the study of human behavior. They may work in many settings and be involved
in teaching, research, and applied psychology. Psychologists help people
understand, accept, and/or change their behavior. They have been trained to use
tests and interviews as diagnostic and assessment techniques to determine an
individual's personality strengths and weaknesses, attitudes, and interests.
The psychologist uses different therapeutic methods to assist the client in
changing behavior, and may also counsel family members and other therapeutic
personnel on how to best work with the client.
The following are very general job descriptions for psychologists who most
typically work in health care settings:

The clinical psychologist usually
works with more severely disturbed and chronic patients, who are often
institutionalized and may be on mood controlling drugs. The clinical
psychologist uses psychotherapy and client management techniques to achieve
changes in behavior and thinking. Some clinical psychologists work in physical
rehabilitation settings, treating patients with spinal cord injuries, chronic
pain or illness, stroke, arthritis, and neurological conditions. Others help
people deal with times of personal crisis, such as divorce or the death of a
loved one. Clinical psychologists often interview patients and give diagnostic
tests. They may provide individual, family, or group psychotherapy and may
design and implement behavior modification programs. Some clinical
psychologists collaborate with physicians and other specialists to develop and
implement treatment and intervention programs for patients. Other clinical
psychologists work in universities and medical schools, where they train
graduate students in the delivery of mental health and behavioral medicine
services.

have less severe, short-term, or situational emotional problems. Typically,
