The problem being described is that becoming a clinical psychologist often requires doing social psychology research to get a graduate degree.
There are Doctor of Psychology (PsyD rather than PhD) programs that focus on clinical psychology training rather than doing research, but the majority of clinical psychologists still do a traditional research-oriented graduate program and there are far more schools offering them.
