I would like to add to my initial comment submitted 5/1/24 after reading subsequent comments in order to correct some misinformation and address some of the commentors’ concerns.
I would like to correct my initial sentence from 5/1/24 to read:
There are several reasons why I support this petition with one caveat: change the “weekly” requirement for supervision to 100 hours which can still be a combination of individual and group supervision.
“Very Concerned Client” – Is not addressing the petition. But to clarify, based on my training in the public sector, any diagnoses, charting, and progress noting CANNOT be changed because they are part of the permanent record and are date stamped. If they were changeable, a clinician that actually did something inappropriate would be able to go back and modify the record to make it appear they did nothing wrong. So, those who are declining to change the record are doing so because of the fact that the record cannot be changed. A client is allowed however, to write anything about how and why they dispute the accuracy of the record and ask for what they write to be added to the record.
