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.

Internet Investigation After Suicides
A coroner is to investigate links between social networking websites and a suicide craze sweeping through a small town.
The craze, apparently fuelled by discussions on sites such as Bebo and a desire for prestige among peers, has led to seven deaths and a spate of attempted suicides in and around Bridgend, South Wales.
Phillip Walters, the local coroner, said yesterday that he was "desperately concerned" and urged parents to be alert.
A friend of the victims, Anne-Marie Eagle, 17, said that suicide had become such a fixation for local youngsters that she had considered it herself.
She added: "It has become a trend, it has become a cool thing to do in our area - I have thought about doing it myself.
"With all the deaths I have got very upset and depressed but I could never be that selfish."
Miss Eagle is a cousin of Liam Clarke, 20, who killed himself a month ago, and a close friend of the latest victim, Natasha Randall, 17.
She said: "When she heard about the other lads, Tasha would talk about hanging a lot. She was fascinated by it.
"She thought it would be easy to do. Everyone around here is doing it, it's absolutely doing my head in.
"Two more friends of mine tried to commit suicide over the weekend as well. They did it because of Tasha, I know they did."
One of them, Leah Phillips, 15, was found just in time by her stepfather, David, 50, after trying to hang herself at home. She spent three days in intensive care.
Her mother, Tina, 41, said: "We don't know how long she had been there. My husband lifted her up and then our neighbour ran in and cut her down.
"Leah says she doesn't know why she did it. She honestly can't remember much about it."
