This is misleading if not actually wrong. Psychologists cannot prescribe in my state and and I believe there are only a few where they can. Further the word has been around long before they could prescribe in ANY state and it has always referred to psychiatrists. If psychologists really have appropriated this term I imagine the MDs are spitting nails.

Back when psychiatrists were shifting from therapy to meds it distinguished those who used meds. Now they are all trained with an emphasis in medication. I'm fairly sure any psychiatrist can choose to use the term for themself and it doesn't guarantee any special expertise.
