Clinical method
Within clinical psychology, the clinical method is an approach to understanding and treating mental disorders that begins with a particular individual's personal history and is designed around that particular person's psychological needs. It is sometimes posed as an alternative approach to the experimental method which focuses on the importance of conducting experiments in learning how to treat mental disorders, and the differential method which sorts patients by class (gender, race, income, age, etc.) and designs treatment plans based around broad social categories.[1][2][3]
