History:
"In 1987, the Minnesota Legislature provided for the licensure of marriage and family therapists, social workers, and the oversight of unlicensed mental health practice under the 'Office of Social Work and Mental Health.' After three years of operation the Legislature created a task force under the Commissioner of Health to investigate the viability of this structure. Based on the resulting report, the Legislature made social work and marriage and family therapy autonomous boards in 1991." (Recommendations on Merging the Minnesota Boards of Behavioral Health and Therapy and Marriage and Family Therapy, 2004)
