The International College of Professional
Psychology and its affiliated academic training organization, Prescribing
Psychologists' Register, believe that it is the professional duty and
responsibility of licensed, practicing psychologists to become comprehensively
educated, as well as ethically and psychotherapeutically aware, of the
synergistic benefits to be gained by their patients through the case-appropriate
usage of psychopharmacology medication together with psychotherapy treatment.
When appropriate to the individual and his or her presenting problem, this
combined, contextual treatment approach, far outweighs the benefits of
psychotherapy or psychopharmacology alone.
Training for licensed, practicing
psychologists in clinical psychopharmacology, is made available by Prescribing
Psychologists' Register (PPR), for more than a decade. PPR is the first,
largest and independently certified training program in Psychopharmacology for
Professional Psychology.
Dr. Gruen has competed PPR's most
rigorous and intensive training program enabling her to help you understand the
psychopharmacological medication your medical doctor may have prescribed, and
your choices in using them. It is important that you feel free to ask
about any lingering concerns or questions you may have regarding your
medications.
