Practices of prescribing psychologists: Replication and extension.

Few studies have examined the practices of prescribing psychologists, and the extant literature suffers from small sample sizes due to the nature of the profession. The current study was based on data from 43 prescribing psychologists, the largest sample of prescribing psychologists examined to date. It was found that prescribing psychology is distinctive from both traditional psychological and psychiatric practice. Prescribing psychologists tend to work in multiple settings. Although respondents espoused a preference for combination therapy, monotherapy—whether medication or psychotherapy—remains the dominant option. Prescribing psychologists reported minimal interaction with pharmaceutical drug representatives. It is also prescribing psychologists’ sense that nonprescribers in their community experience them in positive ways. Future studies should further address patient treatment themes within this practice, as well as looking into changes in interactions with pharmaceutical representatives.
