Scope

India ranks second in the world in terms of population. There needs to be a healthy ratio between healthcare personnel (in each specialized field) and patients, in order to ensure the good health of a country’s population.

However, today, the number of Clinical Psychologists in the country is abysmally low. One motivating factor for being a psychologist is that over a quarter of psychologists are self-employed, which is four times the national average. Clinical psychologists are generally employed at medical facilities like clinics or hospitals or group practices. Many psychologists work at centers for physical rehabilitation where they work with patients with injuries, disabilities, strokes , or chronic problems. Still other psychologists might help people deal with trauma, such as the loss of a family member.
