Dr. Snider has a PsyD degree and works in a hospital, where she diagnoses and treats patients with severe psychological disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Dr. Snider is a ________________

A) psychiatrist
B) research psychologist
C) clinical psychologist
D) counseling psychologist

Answer: C
Rationale: Clinical psychologists are mental health professionals with doctoral degrees (PhD or PsyD), who diagnose and treat mental health problems ranging from the everyday to the chronic and severe. In contrast, psychiatrists have medical degrees (MD), and counseling psychologists typically work with people needing help with common problems such as stress, coping, and mild forms of anxiety and depression, rather than severe mental disorders.
