Intended audience

As you consider purchasing this course, please be aware that although the principles in this course apply to scrupulosity for people of all religious traditions, as a psychologist that works in Utah, my clients are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So, there will be a number of references to this Church throughout the course.
