What right does a psychologist gain through compact privilege?

The correct answer is the right to practice in multiple compact states. The psychology inter-jurisdictional compact allows licensed psychologists to provide services across state lines without needing a separate license for each state involved, simplifying the process and broadening their capacity to serve clients in different locations. This compact aims to enhance access to psychological services, particularly in areas where there may be a shortage of providers.

Other options, such as the right to prescribe medication, are not conferred by the compact privilege. Prescribing privileges are governed by separate state laws and require specific training and credentialing. The compact does not inherently cover conducting research across borders or working with international clients either, as those activities typically fall under other regulatory structures and may require additional permissions or licenses depending on jurisdictional regulations.
