问题    A number of articles have been published by psychologists in favor of their procession being permitted to prescribe psychotropic (治疗精神病的) medications. A review of studies surveying practitioners, though, reveals that the majority of psychologists are opposed to the gaining of prescription privileges. Unless a major shift occurs in the attitudes of most psychologists on this issue, prescription privileges could cause divisions within the field, as well as a greater division between psychologists and other professions.
   There has been a growing interest in psychopharmacology (心理药物学) among a variety of subspecialties in psychology. Therefore, before psychologists become involved in prescribing psychopharmacological agents, it is critical that licensure provisions be developed. According to psychologist Tom Kubiszyn, school psychologists, because of their training and setting, may be in a unique position to expand their competencies in the areas of pediatric medication and evaluation procedures, particularly with schoolchildren, diagnosed as having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. However, Stephen DeMers of the University of Kentucky points out possible complications with school psychologists seeking greater involvement in psychopharmacology. School psychology programs provide much less training and experience in psychopathology and therapeutic interventions than clinical psychology programs do.
   Within the field of psychology, there are varying degrees of credentials, making it difficult for clients to identify competent practitioners. For instance, in psychology, the public may have difficulty understanding the difference between a Psy.D, a PhD and an EdD Some psychologists have a master’s degree, while others have earned certificates of advancement in areas such as drug and alcohol or family therapy. Currently, psychology licensing acts allow for the credentialing of all psychologists with a doctoral degree, regardless of whether the individual was trained as a practitioner. Perhaps the Psy.D and PhD need to be two distinct degrees, whereby the Psy.D is for practitioners and the PhD is for researchers and academicians. The result would be different training in psychology for the two degrees. The absence of criteria identifying the practitioner is a serious impediment for professional psychology and must be resolved before granting psychologists the right to prescribe psychotropic medication.

The best title for this passage might be _______
选项 A、Diversity and Unity
B、Diversity versus Unity
C、Psychology in Diversity
D、ProfDiversities
答案C
解析 文章第一段阐述心理学家在对自己是否该拥有对精神病药物治疗的处方权问题 上持不同的意见。第二段如果授予心理学家代理精神类药物的处方权，完善有关许可证的规 定是非常关键的。第三段指出从业人员认证标准的缺乏阻碍着职业心理学的发展，这一问题 在授予他们处方权之前必须得到解决。可见，目前存在的不同意见有两方面：一是心理学家 内部本身对是否应该授予他们精神病药物治疗的处方权持有不同意见；第二种是即使在心理 学家内部达成一致意见允许授予处方权，但是目前缺乏从业人员认证标准，心理学分支太多 了。据此判断，答案是C。
