There is a growing movement in the United States to allow clinical psychologists to prescribe medication. Two states, Louisiana and New Mexico, already allow script writing privileges after completing additional requirement. In your post, discuss your opinion of this change? Do you believe that clinical psychologists should be allowed to write prescriptions? Why or why not? In what ways might this practice benefit patients? In what ways might it create problems or change the nature or focus of therapy? Also, consider and respond to the fact that the American Medical Association is generally not in support of this change?
