Ageometric corollary states that if A = B and B = C, then A = C. In other words, equality is implied by this equation. I bring this up because recently I've heard several stories from licensed therapists in one state, trying to obtain licensure in other states. This, one would think, should be an easy task. After all, most states use the NBRC examination as their licensing exam. If they all use the same exam then the idea of reciprocity between states should be a logical one. However, it is not that simple. In fact, it is rather cumbersome, if not impossible. Frankly, I find it bureaucratic, difficult, and in general, a pain in the ass!
