D.<p>We receive more and more demands from the profession about the standard of care which I agree with. At the same time &nbsp;I wander about hoe the physicians dictating those standars manage to discuss and document &quot;all&quot; that&#39;s recommended, in a ten to fifiteen minute appointtment.</p> <p>I would like to know how they do it so we can all learn.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://communities.psych.org/aggbug.aspx?PostID=245" width="1" height="1">http://communities.psych.org/blogs/dgr_blog/archive/2008/05/02/private-practice-concerns.aspx#233Mon, 04 Aug 2008 02:08:46 GMTd3d99252-30df-4c9b-b3c7-f3accd7122f8:233Wei Hsu<p>I am alarmed that CA may be the next state that approves psychologists writing prescriptions.

Please advocate and be more involved! &nbsp;I don&#39;t think there&#39;s a more important issue out there for us to worry about right now. &nbsp;By the way, I live in NY.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://communities.psych.org/aggbug.aspx?PostID=233" width="1" height="1">http://communities.psych.org/blogs/dgr_blog/archive/2008/05/02/private-practice-concerns.aspx#225Mon, 05 May 2008 19:13:18 GMTd3d99252-30df-4c9b-b3c7-f3accd7122f8:225Yuan, He<p>more help recruiting residents, mentoring residents for private practice </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://communities.psych.org/aggbug.aspx?PostID=225" width="1" height="1">http://communities.psych.org/blogs/dgr_blog/archive/2008/05/02/private-practice-concerns.aspx#223Mon, 05 May 2008 16:25:34 GMTd3d99252-30df-4c9b-b3c7-f3accd7122f8:223De Jesus, Melissa<p>trying to comprehensive psychosocial care for our patients and working with interdisciplinary teams to make sure our patients&#39; basic needs are met (food, housing)</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://communities.psych.org/aggbug.aspx?PostID=223" width="1" height="1">http://communities.psych.org/blogs/dgr_blog/archive/2008/05/02/private-practice-concerns.aspx#213Sun, 04 May 2008 15:37:43 GMTd3d99252-30df-4c9b-b3c7-f3accd7122f8:213mort rubinstein<p>continue to fight for a real national health care plan </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://communities.psych.org/aggbug.aspx?PostID=213" width="1" height="1">http://communities.psych.org/blogs/dgr_blog/archive/2008/05/02/private-practice-concerns.aspx#212Sun, 04 May 2008 13:41:07 GMTd3d99252-30df-4c9b-b3c7-f3accd7122f8:212Yuan, He<p>Private practice need to lower the malpractice insurance.
