Regarding other schools and individuals being accredited by state licensing, who are not members of a national organization, I have made this statement very clearly some months ago.
Words mean nothing.
Again, APA is not a government licensing agency, but is being treated like one. If the government can sue Bill Gates, who it looks like is being forced to divide Microsoft up, then we can do this as well. It is not like we are working from a position of weakness here. The only weakness I see is the inability to get organized, find an attorney, and go at it. Therefore, make such a state licensing test open to everyone, who at least meets the states criteria for a university of higher learning.
