In this month’s issue of The Clinical Practitioner, the publication for members of the National Alliance of Professional Psychological Providers (NAPPP), author John Caccavale, PhD, notes that as many as 100,000 people die each year as a result of prescribing errors by physicians. He adds that medication disproportionately contributes to harm.
