Yes, that's the rest of the story

Jack, Thanks for the additional clarification that I did not add. Those two areas always make me squeaming. In the case of the referral, one definitely needs to have it in writing and explicit (from the referring physician) for one's complete protection.

In the second case, since I don't tend to chop things up as other do (into labels and categories) I can hardly ever think of significant difference between what I call therapy (for anything) and what clients and I do when they change a "habit." And, too, that is why I still object to that statute about habit control being done by non-professionals. Nevertheless, the "law is the law," just as you stated it. It is mostly there as the Board had to keep from removing income that existed for those people in the previous work of non-pros who have been doing large group smoking cessation and entertainment prior to the statute being written, of course. I hope one day we can change it. But, thanks again for adding it.
