Explanation:

• Option B: Clinical psychologists work directly with patients (not primarily family members in this context), so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Clinical psychologists study behavior and emotions and do not have prescribing privileges (in most cases), which matches the description of a clinical psychologist.
