If you or a family member were suffering from a severe mental illness, you would be most likely to be treated by a(n) _____________ psychologist

A) research
B) counseling
C) academic
D) clinical

Answer: D
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, 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.
