| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Clinical psychology is an integration of science, theory and clinical knowledge for the purpose of understanding, preventing, and relieving psychologically based distress or dysfunction. It promotes subjective well-being and personal development. Central to its practice are psychological assessment and psychotherapy, although clinical psychologists also engage in research, teaching, consultation, forensic testimony, and program development and administration. Clinical psychologists are now considered experts in providing psychotherapy, and generally train within four primary theoretical orientations-psychodynamic, humanistic, behavior therapy/ cognitive behavioral, and systems or family therapy. This book studies four major schools of clinical psychology including transference, object relations theory, intersubjectivity, and dialectical behavior therapy.
