Abstract

This study presented some problems and causes which were occurred in national official recognition process of behavior therapist qualification. Since the enactment of ‘the Qualification Law’ in 1997, it was enforced a registration of private qualification in domestic. This process focused on national official recognitions of excellent private qualifications. In spite of satisfying the goal of national certification management and establishing the phase of behavior therapist based on the reference law, the registration process of behavior therapist was confront with as follows; (1) some conflicts of an authoritative interpretation on behavior therapist’s activities and action scopes, (2) serious oppositions of an opinion with the Medical Service Law, (3) confusions of the concept and definition on the term ‘therapy’. Therefore, this study suggested solving some basic problems on registration and achieving national official recognition of behavior therapist. Firstly, we need to demand forecasting on emotional and behavioral disorders in domestic and to analyze the job of behavior therapy. It is important that provide the fundamentals and rationales of behavior therapist qualification. Secondly, we consider flexible approaches for achieving national official recognition. For example, there are the suggestion of the government authorities(the Ministry of Healthy and Welfare) and the member of the National Assembly. Thirdly, we can change the qualification name based on action scopes and contents in referred law of behavior therapist.
