I oppose this petition for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it is targeting "counselors" not psychologists so is an inappropriate petition for the Board of Psychology. Secondly, the idea of initiating "pre and post testing" on all clients is impractical. Clients seek psychological services for a myriad of reasons, some of which are ameanable to testing and some not. Thirdly, the cost of conducting pre and post testing is not defined by the  petition and could place an undue burden on either clients and/or the treating psychologist.
