Unfortunately, this legislation, however well-intentioned, seems to be a result of a turf war between behavioral health providers from varying backgrounds.  Like many civil wars, it will be costly, will add to the ongoing rancor, and will not be settled amicably.  And the true losers will be those in desperate need of quality mental health care.  The need for such services is great and providers from a host of professions can and should provide guidance to those in training to serve this need.  Please put the health needs of the public above the animus of the Bickersons.
