Thanks to your efforts the Social Work Board withdrew their
proposal to define “diagnosis” as using the DSM criteria. However, the
Board met again in November with another proposed rule change in Chapter
280.6 pertaining to licensure and supervised practice.
Item 1. Amend rule
645-280.6 by adding the following:
1.
Include at
least one component of the diagnostic practice identifying specific mental
or emotional disorders or conditions utilizing the DSM IV (current edition).
2.
Include the
provision of psychosocial therapy.
ISSWA asks for your continued support in
opposing this rule change. See the Licensure page for more
information. The next meeting of the Board is February 8, 2010, at
9:00 AM, on the 5th floor of the Lucas Building in Des Moines.
