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.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
