[Adta] RE: private practice & state laws

[skdmt2]

Hi leslie & Forest, I just wanted to add one thing.
Forest, you said: " what ways dance 
> therapists define and protect themselves legally in private practice"

Licensure is for the protection of the consumer. Therefore, knowing the laws
in your state & what they mean to you as a practitioner are important.
Leslie has identified some of the ramifications for you. Also, affiliating
with your chapter, is important when one exists. Yours in CA is very strong
& aware of the laws & working to broaden them in CA. 

Also, Leslie mentioned in her message that there have been several lawsuits
initiated by the psychology board, in CA, effecting non licensed therapists,
perhaps some of our d/mt psychologists in CA could also respond re their
perspective.

Forest- I'm not sure where the CA counseling licensure law stands. However, 
without some type of license in CA, it is my understanding that you cannot 
engage in private practice. There have been several lawsuits initiated by 
the psychology board. At least a handful of practitioners were prohibited 
from practicing. Other info out there?
