From TAMFT website regarding the law suite:
- answer-TMA is arguing that diagnosing is the domain of medical practice,
implicating all mental health professionals in Texas who do not hold a medical
license. Texas, like California, is often a trendsetter in medical rulings, so it is

TMA is that they want to "take back medicine" and deny the ability to diagnosis to
all mental health professions.
