This updated edition covers relevant statutory laws, codes, and regulations beginning 2019 that govern Professional Clinical Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy in the State of California. Because this book is focused on the practice of MFT and PCC's, laws and regulations that apply to other therapeutic professions are not included and therefore reduces confusion. Getting licensed is a challenge and requires hard work - protect your client's welfare and your license by knowing your legal obligation. This book is a desk reference for professional clinical counselors and marriage and family therapists in training and licensed clinicians in practice and is a great companion tool when studying for the California Law & Ethics Exam.
