Abstract

Proficiency in psychopharmacology is indispensable for a psychologist to effectively fulfill their professional responsibilities, irrespective of their intention for prescribing licensure. This commentary makes a call for psychopharmacology training in clinical psychology and Prescriptive Authority for Psychologists in India. Without proficiency in psychopharmacology, one's capacity to collaborate with medical prescribers and provide optimal care to patients as a valued member of the healthcare team is severely constrained.
