My understanding is that in the UK, Canada, and the USA, anyone can call him or herself a "therapist" or "psychotherapist" and practice, as long as that person does not claim to be licensed, use the word "psychologist" or "Doctor" and so forth. I'm virtually positive this was true at one time, and various web sites claim that it is true, but recently someone challenged this statement and told me that at least in some states the law requires anyone claiming to be a therapist to be licensed.
Does anyone know about this with some measure of certainty? Thanks, Paul Okami --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly (bsouthe...@frostburg.edu)
