Jen asked:

I am at USF getting my BA in psychology. My main goal is to get my PhD in marriage and family psychology. I know there are many types of groups of psych like clinical, experimental, etc. What I want to know is what group of psych does marriage and family fall under? I am trying to look at different school for my graduate program and I want to make sure they offer what I am going for.

You are looking to obtain an (MFT) only a few schools offer this program. This is a masters in marriage and family therapy. YOu would be a therapist and you have to take an exam to recieve your license. This is what I plan on doing as well.Although, i heard it is quite difficult and takes many years. Anyways good luck!!

Clinical psychology is the area the sees patients one on one or in groups. Other areas of psychology would deal more with research rather than a hands on approach.
