Learn how RxP's past shapes its present and future
As a proud proponent of the prescriptive authority movement and the field of psychopharmacology, 樱花视频 has connections with many of its prominent pioneers. Hosted by 樱花视频 professor and Postdoctoral MS in Clinical Psychopharmacology program director Dr. George Kapalka, this podcast features interviews with these influential figures and serves as the definitive oral history of RxP鈥檚 past, present, and future.
In the premiere episode of our oral history podcast on the history of psychopharmacology, Dr. George Kapalka interviews Dr. Mario Marquez, a pioneer in prescribing psychology. They discuss the history and evolution of the RxP movement, particularly in New Mexico, where the first legislation allowing psychologists to prescribe medications was passed in 2002. Dr. Marquez shares his personal motivations for becoming a prescribing psychologist, the political challenges faced during the legislative process, and the opposition from the psychiatric community. He also highlights the importance of building support among legislators and the psychological community, as well as the personal struggles he faced during this journey.
