Guest guest Posted March 17, 2001 Report Share Posted March 17, 2001 Kayleigh, For what it is worth, I am more interesting in pursuing a lawsuit than in debating Szasz. Regarding requirements for treatment counselors, I believe it is pretty up to the individual states. I have been in contact with people in Indiana who got that state to enact a " truth and responsiblity in psychological treatment " act--not the exact title but something to that effect. Their group was started in reaction to " Repressed Memory " psychologists. I had noticed that alcoholism and drug abuse counselors were not included in their state bill, although they were in the national model legislation. They informed me that the reason was that a & da counselors were not licensed by the state of Indiana. I have seen a chart listing the requirments by state but could not find it in my bookmarks. I'll keep my eyes open. > I have e-mailed the editor of the Freedom From Religion Foundation > newsletter (Freethought Today) about the status of their lawsuit > against the state of Wisconsin, and she replied that it is still in > discovery. > > She gave me the name of her lawyer and his e-mail address, but I don't > want to bother him unless people on the list are really interested in > pursuing this.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2001 Report Share Posted March 17, 2001 Indiana's counselors are certified, but probably by a private board. The website you want is www.nttc.com/ It lists all the states'certification requirements for AODA counselors. In Indiana, if I remember correctly, AA/NA attendance can substitute for up to six mos. of the education required for certification. No, my concern was requirements for the centers themselves. > > Kayleigh, > > For what it is worth, I am more interesting in pursuing a lawsuit > than in debating Szasz. > > Regarding requirements for treatment counselors, I believe it is > pretty up to the individual states.
