The aspect of this legislation that seeks to reduce the pool of supervisors to predominantly LPCs may have the unintended consequence of creating intellectual insularity in the field. A well rounded practitioner should understand the multiple perspectives of psychology, psychiatry, social work, and substance abuse counseling. Each of these displines have a unique contribution to make in deepening the understanding of human behavior; and every counseling resident should be able to choose among a wide range of qualified supervisors, based on their skill and wisdom as clinicians and not simply the initials that follow their name. If Carl Rogers, PhD were available to supervise in Virginia, this legislation would disqualify him as a supervisor.
