Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0450-03-.03 - NECESSITY OF LICENSURE
(1) It is unlawful
for any person who is not licensed in the manner prescribed in T.C.A.
§§ 63-22101, et
seq., to represent himself as a licensed clinical
pastoral therapist or to hold himself out to the public as being licensed by
means of using a title on signs, mailboxes, address plates, stationery,
announcements, telephone listings, calling cards, or other instruments of
professional identification.
(2)
Clinical pastoral therapy is one of the healing arts, the practice of which is
restricted to those persons credentialed by the Board. Persons engaging in the
practice of clinical pastoral therapy without being credentialed or expressly
exempted by law are in violation of T.C.A. §
63-1-123.
(3) No other person shall hold himself out to
the public by a title or description of services incorporating the words
"licensed clinical pastoral therapist" or "licensed clinical pastoral
counselor", and he shall not state or imply that he is licensed. Nothing in
this rule shall prohibit a person from stating or using the educational degrees
which he has obtained.
(4) Use of
Titles
(a) Any person who possesses a valid,
unsuspended and unrevoked license issued by the Board has the right to use the
title "Licensed Clinical Pastoral Therapists" and to practice clinical pastoral
therapy, as defined in T.C.A. §
63-22-201.
(b) Violation of this rule or T.C.A. §
63-22-201 regarding use of titles
shall constitute unprofessional and/or unethical conduct and subject the
licensee to disciplinary action.
(c) Any person licensed by the Board to whom
this rule applies must use the title authorized by this rule whenever he or she
is "advertising" [as that term is defined in rule 0450-03-.21(2) ] or the
failure to do so will constitute an omission of a material fact which makes the
advertisement misleading and deceptive and subjects the clinical pastoral
therapist to disciplinary action pursuant to T.C.A. §§
63-22-110(b) (4),
and 63- 22-202(a).
