Abstract
Robiner et al. (this issue) believe if psychologists are permitted to prescribe medications, they will pose a health hazard. We do not. We frame our commentary around the authors' selective use of available data, their undervaluing evolving identity of psychologists, and the misdirected belief that medical school is the only training venue for prescription privileges. We agree with Robiner et al. that competence to prescribe safely and effectively is the primary issue. We reject premature and inflammatory conclusions that prescribing psychologists pose a health risk and that proposed training programs are inadequate.
