There has never before been a more exciting time in psychology.
Psychologists are actively pursuing prescription privileges
in many states, making a convincing case for the integration
of psychology into mainstream healthcare, and rapidly demonstrating
empirically supported treatments for a variety of conditions.
Whether or not you personally support these initiatives,
you can take pride in being a part or becoming a part of

refining itself.
