Coldly detached, functional (8)

I believe the answer is:

clinical

(Other definitions for clinical that I've seen before include "Based on observed signs or symptoms" , "Coldly detached" , "Unemotional, cool and detached like doctor" , "Dispassionate" , "cold?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
