Interview two helping service professionals from two different settings, such as a school, hospital, or prison. Ensure that at least one of the interviewees is a clinical psychologist.

Provide the name and work environment of the two professionals you interviewed.

Ask the following questions to each of your interviewees:

 

·         In what setting do you practice? How long have you been practicing?

·         What are your specialties or areas of clinical focus?

·         What are the most common disorders you treat?

·         Do you have any special certifications or training beyond your original graduate coursework?

·         How do you approach therapy or treatment? Do you use specific modalities, techniques, or interventions?

·         What ethical and legal issues do you think are the most challenging or common?

·         Do you have an opinion on where you think the field of psychology is heading?

·         What do you enjoy most about your work?

·         What advice would you provide an aspiring psychologist or therapist?

 

Discuss, in a 350- to 700-word response, the similarities and differences of how these professionals approach treatment in their settings.
