All requests to WCB seeking the qualifications of the two therapists in this case have been ignored. In a recent demand for this information through the Freedom of Information Act, WCB has stated:

"The records are considered personal information of the individuals and are therefore excepted from disclosure …"

 From the few pieces of correspondence produced by Therapist Oaks, she has listed herself as having a Bachelor of Arts and she was a member of the Registered Clinical Counselors (RCC) of B.C.

(Note: In earlier attempts to find out just exactly what is the organization RCC of BC, I was able to ascertain that the minimum requirement for membership was a master in a soft science and a six-week of On-the-Job training period with an already "qualified" member of RCC.)

 Therapist Oaks fails to meet even the negligible minimum requirements of RCC membership. However, she annotates her letters as a member and is acceptable to WCB.

 Therapist Donahue has a Letterhead on her correspondence listing her qualifications:

 Registered Nurse, Bachelor of Physical Education and a Masters in Arts and she also annotates her letters as a member of the RCC of BC. Plus in one of the court documents she advised she had taken "some courses at the Justice Institute in Vancouver".

 The President of the Justice Institute in Vancouver has stated that no courses in Recovered Memory Therapy were ever provided.
