These courses meet the qualifications for continuing education credit in law and ethics for LMFTs and LCSWs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences.

Dear Member:

We trust that you will find these self-assessment tests to be both interesting and challenging. These self-assessment tests are developed by Richard S. Leslie, J.D., of Counsel for CAMFT. Richard has practiced at the intersection of law and psychotherapy for the past 25 years and his contributions to CAMFT and the profession are widely recognized. These continuing education self-assessment tests are sponsored by CAMFT in partnership with Richard S. Leslie, J.D. We are both pleased that we are able to once again work together for the good of each individual practitioner and the profession.

Self-assessment testing has long been regarded as an excellent way to learn and grow professionally. THERE IS NO PASSING OR FAILING SCORE. Here is how it works.

1. Tests can be taken online and they are also available in PDF format. For the tests that are available in PDF format you will have to print the tests and mail them in to the CAMFT office. Print the test, complete the answer sheet and follow the directions to submit the test by mail.
2. Take the test by answering true or false to each question

Send the one page answer sheet to CAMFT with your check for $35 made payable to CAMFT, or pay with your credit card by filling in the requested information. You Keep The Test. 

1. CAMFT will send you the answers (including explanations), an evaluation form, and a certificate of course completion. You will earn two hours of self-study CE credit in law and ethics

There is no need to feel intimidated or embarrassed if you are not confident of the correct answers. The goal is for you to learn what you know and what you don't know.

These self-assessments will help you to stay out of trouble. Some may want to take the test without reviewing any materials or without discussing the questions with anyone. Others may first want to review one or more articles, a textbook, or other resources. Some may want to take this test as a pre-test, then review the resources and re-take the test. An interactive way to take the test would be to do so with one or more colleagues, (e.g. in a consultation or supervision group), so that you can dialogue with others. Developing a clear understanding in this area of practice is essential; we believe you will find this test of significant value whether or not you are in need of continuing education units, or Law and Ethics units in particular.

We respectfully request that the answer sheet you will receive not be shared without written permission. The test and answers are copyrighted materials. We appreciate your understanding and respect for the proprietary nature of this material. We encourage and look forward to your participation.

Sincerely,

Mary Riemersma
Executive Director
