§ 4081. Legislative intent
It is the intent of this chapter:
(1) To ensure that consumers of psychotherapy services are provided with the information
relating to the training and qualification of nonlicensed and noncertified providers
of psychotherapy necessary to enable them to make informed decisions concerning their
choice of providers.
(2) That psychotherapists who are nonlicensed and noncertified are entered on a roster
and practice according to established standards of professional conduct and be subject
to disciplinary procedures if they fail to adhere to those standards.
(3) That the term psychotherapy as used in this chapter be narrowly interpreted to ensure
that only those persons who provide services that clearly fall within the definition
of psychotherapy are subject to the provisions of this chapter. (Added 1993, No. 222 (Adj. Sess.), § 17.)
