The Licensed Professional Counseling Board of Examiners published an Emergency Rule on November 20 outlining the required continuing education in diagnosis for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists.
“A licensee must accrue six clock hours of training in diagnosis every renewal period that specifically addresses the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical conditions under the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), as published by the American Psychiatric Association on May 18, 2013. This required training may be specific to the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of a particular condition and/or may be general training in diagnosis, assessment, and treatment under the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Edition (DSM-5), published on May 18, 2013.”
Other conditions are listed in the Rule which can be reviewed at the Louisiana Register.
