Document Summary

In a survey of patients who were newly prescribed antidepressant medication by their family doctors, those who were initially skeptical of the medication were less likely to adhere to drug treatment. Clinical psychologists hold a doctoral degree, or ph. d. , with training in both research and clinical practice and work in clinics, hospitals, and private practice. Some clinical psychologists focus predominantly on research and work in universities. The treatment techniques most often used by clinical psychologists are often considered psychological, in that they rarely involve drug treatment or invasive techniques like surgery. Counsellors typically have doctoral degrees in counselling psychology and receive some of the same training as clinical psychologists, but with much less emphasis on research.
