  Child psychologists study the genetic, social, and environmental factors that influence children from infancy through adolescence. Those that work in clinical practice help children and adolescents cope with stressors and related issues.

  Degree programs in child psychology prepare students to work in one or more of the three main concentrations in the field.

  Adolescent psychology is focused on issues relevant to children and youth between the ages of 12 and 18. These issues include behavioral problems, learning disabilities, depression, and eating disorders.
