Welcome to Clinically Psyched.
In addition to our Neuroscience News website, our team decided that there was a need to create a non profit website to promote breaking news in clinical psychology, biological psychology and psychopharmacology. We feel there is a lack of websites dedicated to breaking news within these fields, so decided to create this resource to keep psychology professionals and clinical psychology students abreast of current discoveries in clinical psychology.
The Clinically Psyched team scour the news daily for relevant news which we believe is vital within clinical psychology. We only choose headlines related to clinical psychology and post the relevant links. Occasionally, the original link may not be available without registration, so we link the clinical psychology news article to a secondary source.
We actively encourage our clinical psychology news readers to submit clinical psychology articles, clinical psychology related breaking news, clinical psychology abstracts, psychology links and suggestions to help develop our website. As such, we frequently update Clinically Psyched, so be sure to check back with us often.
Clinically Psyched is especially interested in clinical psychology student submission and we intend to develop an area where psychology students can post papers they believe may be suitable for our readers. We do ask for all paper submissions to be accompanied by a reference page formatted in the standard BPS/APA style. If any articles are used in papers by our users, we strongly insist that both Clinically Psyched and the original author/source are referenced.
It is our hope that clinical psychology professionals, university psychology departments, clinical psychology students and anyone interested in the field of clinical psychology will find this a useful resource and assist in the development of this website.
Be sure to read our user articles, clinical psychology articles, neurotheology articles and more.
We have archived our old clinical psychology, abnormal psychology, other psychology and neuroscience news. Check the archive section for older clinical psychology news articles.

Fewer teenagers drink regularly
Fewer teenagers are drinking regularly - partly because it is becoming harder for youngsters to get hold of alcohol, a Trading Standards survey suggests.
The number of those who say they never drink at all has climbed from 12% in 2005 to 17% in the latest poll, of 12,000 children in north-west England.
Those who drink regularly - at least once a week - fell from 50% to 44%.
However, a third of those who do drink do so to excess, and of those half admit to becoming violent while drunk.
The proportion of schoolchildren aged between 14 and 17 who bought their own alcohol dropped from 40% in the 2005 poll to 28%.
The Trading Standards Institute, which organised the survey in the north-west of England, said the results suggested a regime of more active policing of under-age alcohol sales was starting to work.
Changing attitudes
Professor Mark Bellis, Director of the Centre for Public Health, said: "It is very positive that we have seen such a dramatic drop in kids buying their own alcohol.
"But better regulation of under-age sales now needs to be matched by a culture change that will stop those children from wanting to buy alcohol in the first place, and that's something we're still not seeing."
Nearly 30% of those polled were managing to obtain and consume enough alcohol to be classified as binge drinkers - getting through five or more drinks in one sitting.
Just over a quarter of binge drinkers said they had been in a car with a young person who had been drinking, and just over a fifth said they had regretted having sex while drunk.
The 2005 survey did not examine binge drinking, and so no figures were available for comparison, but experts say there is no evidence to suggest the problem is getting worse.
This year's survey also found that nearly 50% who drank alcohol claimed they drank at home when parents were in, or at functions with family and friends.
Earlier this year, the charity Alcohol Concern called for the prosecution of parents who gave alcohol to children, yet a subsequent study found those who drank with parental supervision were less likely to engage in binge drinking.
