Sandy's Position on Prescription Privileges for Psychologists
Question: What is your position on prescriptive authority for psychologists? Sandy's Brief Answer: I have been (since the initial DOD demonstration project), and continue to be, fully supportive of prescriptive authority as a specialty for psychologists with appropriate training and credentials. The evolution of treatment settings combined with the critical need, as exemplified by those in many rural settings, has long justified prescriptive authority psychology practice.
