It needs to be clearly stated that CSAC's are not allowed to practice independently. Why would the rules be so vastly different for them compared to other mental health practitioners?  It is not in the best interest of the people who are seeking the services of a CSAC to allow for a lack of training and competence in the field.  The public deserves better and the law should be clear.
