What do psychologists do?

Psychologists are specially trained doctorates of psychology who evaluate and treat a full range of emotional disorders and life adjustment problems. In addition, psychologists conduct research, teach at the college and university level, perform testing, consult with business and industry, and provide expert testimony to our judicial system. Among the many services that psychologists offer to the public, psychologists conduct individual and group therapy with adults, adolescents, and children. Psychologists specialize in many fields, such as working with geriatric patients, those with chronic pain, and children/adults with attention deficit disorders.
