Enhancing our serenity: The distinction between remorse and guilt
Counselor Magazine
I recently read an article concerning a dialogue between Buddhist teacher Sharon Salzberg and Rosanne Cash (Johnny Cash’s daughter) that I am sure will profoundly change my life. In this dialogue, Salzberg makes an important distinction between remorse and guilt. In her words, “In Buddhist psychology, there’s a difference between remorse and guilt. Remorse is the genuine pain of seeing that you blew it or could have done better, and you want to move on with determination to see more clearly. Whereas guilt is not having the ability to move on, it’s being stuck . . . it’s being frozen in time” (Salzberg, 2020).

Video game addiction, or how the World Health Organization stumbled into a diagnostic quagmire
Counselor Magazine
In 2018 the World Health Organization (WHO) announced plans to include “gaming disorder” in the future International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Far from solidifying a consensus on whether this disorder is “real” or not, the WHO touched off the tinder of an ongoing debate about gaming overuse that had been simmering for decades. This controversy relates not just to the pathologizing of a hobby, but how we conceptualize addictions more generally, and has implications for diagnosis widely.

Licensure vs. Certification
IC&RC
A license is a state’s grant of legal authority to practice a profession within a designated scope of practice. It is required in order to practice or to call oneself a licensed professional. Some states have a single license and some have a tiered system, and the names of licenses, as well as requirements, vary from state to state. Licensing can also be thought of as mandatory certification. Under a licensure system, states define by statute the tasks and function or scope of practice of a profession and provide that these tasks may be legally performed only by those who are licensed.

About IC&RC's Credentials
ICRC
IC&RC is built on the belief that credentialing advances the addiction and prevention profession.
Credentialing facilitates standardized practice across a wide variety of settings and regulatory environments. Most importantly, it ensures trained, ethical professionals are available to clients, families, and communities around the globe.
IC&RC establishes, monitors, and advances reciprocal competency standards for six reciprocal credentials:
These credentials are recognized worldwide as the gold standard for competency in the field, and they are written into U.S. state and national practice regulations and insurance legislation.
Developing a Credential
The foundation of a credential is the Job Analysis (JA), a methodical process of determining what elements of practice and knowledge are important to assess as part of a certification examination.
To develop the JA, we gather Subject Matter Experts working in the field from all around the country and world to contribute what tasks, knowledge, skills, and abilities they use in their jobs. Then IC&RC creates a public survey for professionals to weigh in on whether they do, in fact, complete the proposed tasks in their work – and how important they would rate them. The survey is announced on IC&RC’s website, plus it is sent to IC&RC member boards and other relevant organizations for distribution.
Under the guidance of a psychometrician from our international testing company, a second group of Subject Matter Experts reviews the survey results, adjusting the original tasks, knowledge, skills, and abilities to reflect the input of thousands of professionals. This final document is called the Job Analysis, and it serves as the blueprint for the examination. The process used by IC&RC directly links an examination score to a specific job and ensures that each examination is valid, reliable, and legally defensible.
To ensure they reflect the latest practices, IC&RC credentials and examinations are updated following this process every five to seven years. This rigorous test development sets IC&RC apart from other credentialing organizations.
