About this listen

In the premiere episode of our oral history podcast on the history of psychopharmacology, Dr. George Kapalka interviews Dr. Mario Marquez, a pioneer in prescribing psychology. They discuss the history and evolution of the RxP movement, particularly in New Mexico, where the first legislation allowing psychologists to prescribe medications was passed in 2002. Dr. Marquez shares his personal motivations for becoming a prescribing psychologist, the political challenges faced during the legislative process, and the opposition from the psychiatric community. He also highlights the importance of building support among legislators and the psychological community, as well as the personal struggles he faced during this journey.
