Jeffrey N. Younggren, PhD, ABPP

Dr. Younggren reviews the laws that apply to the certification of Emotional Support Animals (ESAs). He examines the role conflicts that exist when therapists provide these types of certifications and will review the concept of disability as it applies to these types of assessments. Dr. Younggren also provides a recommended model for how these evaluations should be conducted.
