In 1992, the Institute joined the National Philosophical Counseling Association (NPCA), affiliated with the American Philosophical Association (APA), and its clinical results have since been presented at the NPCA's annual Eastern meetings
In 2005, at the NPCA meeting, LBT&CI announced plans to begin a certification program in Logic-Based Therapy (LBT), the product of over two decades of research and development.

LBC or LBT - What are the differences?
Logic-Based Therapy (LBT) is a descendant of Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), developed by psychologist Albert Ellis in the 1950s. Logic-based therapists certified by the National Philosophical Counseling Association (NPCA) are also licensed mental health practitioners who, therefore, can diagnose and treat mental disorders.
Minimum qualifications for obtaining the Certificate issued upon completion of the LBT Training Program:
- Master's or doctoral degree from a recognized institution in a mental health field such as mental health counseling, social services, psychology, social work, or psychiatric nursing; and a valid state license as a mental health practitioner.
Logic-Based Consultation (LBC) refers to the use of a logic-based framework by NPCA certified consultants to help clients address specific, identifiable problems that arise in ordinary life or work contexts.
Minimum qualifications for the certificate training program in LBC: (one of the two points)
- Master's or doctoral degree in philosophy obtained from a recognized institution;
- Master's or doctoral degree obtained from a recognized institution in a mental health field such as mental health counseling, social services, psychology, social work, or psychiatric nursing.
