PATIENT-CLIENT ISSUE

the problem of how to recognize the person receiving psychological services or intervention. Psychiatrists, multiple clinical psychologists, and some other mental health care professionals tend to adhere to the classic linguistics of the medical design and reference the individuals who have sought their help as clients. Counseling psychologists, some clinical psychologists, cultural employees, and counselors tend to abstain from the term patient, that which is correlated with disease and malfunction, rather utilizing the term client to reference the person who has sought their help.
