Abstract: The current model of practicing clinical psychology is less suited to the world standards. We reflect on to what and where does clinical psychology fit today after occurring a pandemic worldwide going throughout a theoretical review on clinical observation, multidisciplinary teams, therapeutic relationship and change and challenges of clinical psychology. Covid-19 Pandemic consequences are emerging in mental health where communication between clients and therapists are changing new technologies are producing mental health contents and the question remains: can technology artificial intelligence replace a human therapist? Reflections on the scopes of clinical psychology as one of first subdiscipline emerging from Psychology are presented. I do hope interpersonal connection, eye to eye, verbal and nonverbal actions are still considered crucial in understanding psychological suffering. What matters most is the quality of the relationships we develop and maintain throughout our life’s. Technology can help towards that goal but can never replace it.
