DAVAO CITY —The Psychological Association of the Philippines -Southern Mindanao Chapter has expressed alarm over some provisions of the resolution issued by the Professional Regulatory Board of Psychology last June 22 as it will force several clinics to close shop.
The new regulation is “unlawful, oppressive and unjust” and reflects a “punitive spirit of regulation,” which can potentially affect the country, particularly in far-flung communities, as there will only be a few professionals who can practice, she said. “The requirement for the board exams is more intended for clinical psychology and by default, it has been assumed that any person who passes the board or has been certified by the board under the grandfather’s clause who holds both the Certificate of Registration and PRC IDs may practice,” she said.
Ilagan added that the resolution would impact them “with the need to supervise ‘junior’ psychologists.” With three days left before its effectivity, she said many centers would shut down, affecting several areas in the country because there will only be a small number of psychologists who can qualify the requirements under the new resolution.
