In this chapter, we tell you about two specialized fields of clinical psychology, namely clinical child psychology and geropsychology. We provide a brief history of each field and describe the unique features of the assessment methods that clinicians use with clients who are young, and those who are old. We also describe some of the most common disorders of childhood, adolescence, and old age, and some of the empirically supported treatments that are available to address these problems.
