Explain To Me Again Why Psychologists Can’t Prescribe Meds? Consider the following two clinical scenarios: A. William, a 62 year-old accountant, has been feeling “depressed” since his divorce 5 years ago. His practice, he says, is “falling apart,” as he has lost several high-profile clients and he believes it’s “too late” for his business to recover. His adult son and daughter admire him greatly, but his ex-wife denigrates him and does everything she can to keep their children from seeing him. William spends most of his days at his elderly parents’ house, a two-hour drive away, where he sleeps in the room (and bed) he occupied in his childhood. William has been seeing Dr Moore every 1-2 weeks for the last 2 years. Dr Moore has tried to support William’s ill-fated attempts to build up his practice, spend more time with his children, and engage in more productive activities, including dating and other social endeavors. But William persistently complains that it’s “of no use,” he’ll “never meet anyone,” and his practice is “doomed to fail.”
