[QUOTE="klmno, post: 490938, member: 3699"] It might be different where you are, DF, but in this state 'behavior therapists' don't have to be licensed MH therapists. They can (and usually are) people with a degree in any human services field; "license preferred but not required" and they don't get paid all that much, which is why they are usually not all that experienced, knowldgable about these sorts of difficult child issues, etc., and there is no licensing board overseeing their standards. A licensed therapist can make a lot more money without having to do in-home services with people so would be unlikely to take a job like this. At best, it might be a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who couldn't find a job anywhere else. Of course, they all [I][B]think[/B][/I] they can do CBT, diagnosis, etc, which is why I think they end up causing more harm than good a lot of times. [/QUOTE]
