Among them, clinical, educational, organisational, social and community, legal and forensic, physical activity and sports, teaching and research.
Depending on the country in which you expect to develop your professional practice, you may find specific regulatory regimes (e.g., tasks and activities and/or regulated titles, like is the case of clinical and health psychology in Spain).
