Just to play "devil's advocate" here, wouldn't clinical psychologists with rxp fall into the same "trap" as psychiatrists with med. management being more economically efficient? What would override this? The nature of clinical psychology training? The more limited rxp (if it would in fact be more limited)? Something else? Would this cause clinicians to focus more on meds as a curative major than focusing on therapy or therapy+meds as curative measure, partially because meds are more economically efficient for the clinician? Would clients even request or be willing to utilize therapy any more? Would clinicians need to or be willing to perform it?
