[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported online in on Jul 11 2022 (see record 2022-79840-001). In the original article, changes were needed to clarify the timeline of state legalizations of prescriptive authority for psychologists (RxP) and the current status of RxP with regard to the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). In the second paragraph of the "RxP From 2011 to Present" section, the citations relating to legalization in Idaho and Iowa were corrected, and the year in the Prescribing Psychologist reference was corrected in the References section and in text citations throughout. Additionally, in the last paragraph of the "RxP From 2011 to Present" section, the text was updated to clarify that at the present time, prescribing psychologists are not able to prescribe for the BOP. All versions of this article have been corrected.] Since the endorsement of prescriptive authority for psychologists (RxP) by the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1995, it has become legal in five states (Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, and New Mexico). The Department of Defense, including the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and U.S. Navy, as well as the Public Health Service, and the Indian Health Service, continue to utilize prescribing psychologists as well. There are now over 200 prescribing psychologists in the United States. Five APA-designated RxP training programs offer a pathway to attain prescription privileges and future board certification when approved. The purpose of this article is to provide information for those with minimal exposure to RxP, updates for those more informed, and recommendations for the next phase of RxP. This article examines scholarship related to RxP as well as newsletter columns, state legislative efforts, current RxP laws, policies, training programs, and critical events in the RxP history. Public access to quality and comprehensive mental health services can be expected to improve as more psychologists complete the necessary RxP training and licensure requirements.

[勘误通知：本文的勘误在线发布于 2022 年 7 月 11 日的在线版上（见记录 2022-79840-001）。在原始文章中，需要进行更改以澄清心理学家处方权（RxP）的州合法化时间表以及联邦监狱局（BOP）的 RxP 现状。在“从 2011 年到现在的 RxP”部分的第二段中，对与爱达荷州和爱荷华州合法化相关的引文进行了更正，并在参考文献部分和整个文本引文中更正了《处方心理学家》参考资料中的年份。此外，在“从 2011 年到现在的 RxP”部分的最后一段中，更新了文本，以澄清目前，开处方的心理学家无法为 BOP 开处方。本文的所有版本均已更正。]自 1995 年美国心理协会（APA）认可心理学家的处方权（RxP）以来，已有五个州（爱达荷州、伊利诺伊州、爱荷华州、路易斯安那州和新墨西哥州）将其合法化。美国国防部，包括美国空军、美国陆军和美国海军，以及公共卫生服务和印第安卫生服务，也继续使用开处方的心理学家。目前美国有 200 多名开处方的心理学家。五个 APA 指定的 RxP 培训计划提供了一条获得处方特权和未来董事会认证的途径，一旦获得批准。本文的目的是为那些对 RxP 接触较少的人提供信息，为那些了解更多信息的人提供更新，并为 RxP 的下一阶段提供建议。本文考察了与 RxP 相关的奖学金以及通讯栏目、州立法努力、当前的 RxP 法律、政策、培训计划以及 RxP 历史上的关键事件。随着越来越多的心理学家完成必要的 RxP 培训和许可要求，公众可以预期获得更好的质量和全面的心理健康服务。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
