Bill > H212

This bill establishes a Board of Registration of Allied Mental Health and Human Services Professions and outlines the qualifications and licensing requirements for independent psychoanalytic therapists and independent psychoanalysts. Specifically, it amends existing laws to create these new licensing categories, defining what constitutes the "practice of psychoanalysis" and "practice of psychoanalytic therapy," and sets forth detailed educational, supervised experience, and examination requirements for individuals seeking to become licensed in these fields. The bill also clarifies that certain professional titles, including "licensed independent psychoanalyst" and "licensed independent psychoanalytic therapist," cannot be used by individuals who are not licensed under these new provisions.
