The article evaluates the relationship between clinical psychology and psychiatry. According to the author, clinical psychology, like medicine, is primarily concerned with the individual. The clinician seeks through a variety of special techniques to promote the adjustment and readjustment of the individual. Those who seek the assistance of a clinician usually deviate considerably from the norm or they would not ask such help. Psychiatry, on the other hand, seeks to treat and cure those who are considered ill. It is a relatively new field concerned primarily with those suffering from mental and nervous diseases.
