The field of clinical psychology has been integrated into the health system, especially the mental health and education system, in many western countries. In Malaysia, clinical psychology is still a

This preliminary study looks at the awareness of 199 medical and health sciences professional with regards to clinical psychology. Results of this survey found that only 13.6% of the respondents demonstrated basic
