Under existing law, the practice of marriage and family therapy includes assessing, understanding, and treating emotional and mental problems, but does not specifically include the diagnosis of the problems.
This bill would specifically include within the definition of the practice of marriage and family therapy the utilization of principles to diagnose mental and emotional disorders. The bill would also delete certain limitations on the practice of marriage and family therapy.
