To institute a policy such as this would be very narrow minded and not in the best interests of the clients. Competency is not demonstrated simply by having a single accredited program as acceptable. There is no proof that CACREP programs are superior. In fact many other programs which have other accreditation are excellent in preparing mental health clinicians (ie psychology).
