The National Board of Forensic Evaluators,
Inc. is a non-for profit public charity organization as described in section
501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Your
practice is being limited by an ongoing turf battle over a generic
word
FACT:
As an LPC, LMHC, LMFT, LCSW & LICSW you cannot use any terms that
contain “psycho” to describe you, your work, your testing or your
reporting. Most states have laws, spearheaded by psychologist, limiting
the use of any word with “psycho” in it to psychologist. Because most
states restrict the use of the term "psychology" for LPC's use, we cannot even
use the term "psychotherapy" in our reports or language to describe us or our
services.
FACT:
You could be brought before your licensing board if you advertise your
services as “psychotherapy”, call yourself a “psychotherapist”, say you do
“psychological testing”. This over the top regulation of our services as
mental health professionals on the use of a generic word like “psychology” and
any derivation thereof must stop.
FACT:
Most LPC's will be called to court as a Fact Witness at some time in their
career. Most LPC's are not prepared to conduct themselves in court and
many become either disqualified and fail to represent their patient in a
knowledgeable positive manner or feel frustrated and humiliated by a slyly
conducted cross examination. This is further exemplified under
cross-examination when the LPC has to defend his understanding when they are
prohibited from using the most basic and understood terms, "psychological" and
"psychotherapy."

THIS WRONG. WE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PRACTICE OUR SCIENCE. NOT ONLY

Your donations, large or small, help us carry on the battle to reverse the
injustices and inequities that are deemed unconstitutional and unfair. Your
donations will not only help NBFE work with "families at-risk" but to work with
legislators and the public and private sector to change laws that effect the
continuity of quality-client and patient care.
Donation Opportunities: We depend upon the generosity of individuals,
corporations and foundations to defray the costs associated with this legal
challenge.
As Your donations will help ensure that NBFE will carry on the fight
to make known to lawmakers that certain laws have been deemed
unconstitutional as well as cause a misrepresentation of our function to the
pubic and private sector.
