Clinical child psychology uses a thorough understanding of child and adolescent development as well as psychopathology to promote healthy adjustment in infants, children, and adolescents. It focuses on understanding the relationship between family dynamics and a child's development, recognizing that not all adult clinical approaches can be applied to children. Obtaining at least a bachelor's degree in psychology is required, while graduate education, such as a Ph.D. or Psy.D., internships, research experience, and starter jobs are also important for entering this specialty field. Employment opportunities exist in hospitals, clinics, private practice, and schools.
