“…Satisfaction with this initial training was more strongly related to therapeutic confidence than subsequent work experience, engagement in psychotherapy‐related CPD, or having additional formal psychotherapy training. This corresponds with past reports that work experience was less important for confidence than length of training (Melchert et al, ) and less important than belief in clinical psychologists' capacity for therapeutic work (Glidewell & Livert, ). This suggests that early training experience may be critical for establishing clinical psychologists' therapeutic confidence, with an impact that can persist throughout their careers.…”

“…Longer time in training has been found to contribute to greater counselling self-efficacy, to a greater degree than later experience (Melchert, Hays, Wiljanen, & Kolocek, 1996), but further studies reported mixed findings regarding length of training and selfefficacy (see Tang et al, 2004). With clinical psychologists, greater therapeutic confidence was related to more therapeutic experience but a stronger predictor of confidence was the belief that clinical psychologists were equipped to practice psychotherapy from their clinical training (Glidewell & Livert, 1992).…”

Background Within clinical psychology, there is a broad training and range of practice. However, most clinical psychologists practice psychotherapy and this study explored what relates to confidence in therapeutic practice. Method An online survey was distributed to Irish psychologists. Three‐quarters of the survey participants constituted 46% of the total population of Irish health service psychologists, the remainder working in various non‐health service settings. Clinical psychologists practising psychotherapy were the focus of this study (N = 170). Results Psychotherapy practice was a dominant activity for nearly all clinical psychologists but only 13% believed that their psychology training fully equipped them to practice psychotherapy and nearly one‐half felt limited confidence for therapeutic work. More confident clinical psychologists were more satisfied with the psychotherapy knowledge and skills gained during clinical psychology training, more satisfied with their supervisory support, had spent longer in personal therapy, and had more years of experience. Conclusions Perceived quality of psychotherapy training during clinical psychology training provides an essential foundation for therapeutic confidence. Ongoing access to satisfying supervision in post‐qualification practice also supports confident therapeutic work. In addition, the significance of substantial experience of personal therapy for confidence points to its inclusion as a valuable part of clinical psychology training.

Although quintessential to market exchange and trade, consumer confidence evokes little interest from marketing scholars, and largely persists as an untapped dimension in consumer behavior research. Nevertheless, the dearth of confidence research provides a most useful foundation for investigating how it is both relevant and informative to the study of consumer decision making and behavior. Following a comprehensive review of the theoretical foundations of confidence, an integrated conceptualization is mapped out, and examples of consumer behavior research areas deemed to benefit from a more honed study of confidence are highlighted

“…Following this line of thought, several authors define “confidence” as a certainty that a given professional task or approach will bring about an expected, favorable outcome,20 as well as a belief in one’s judgment and abilities 21,22. In the present study, “clinical confidence” is understood in terms of encouragement and exploration of new professional frontiers.…”

There are an increasing number of educational programs to improve clinical competence and skills to treat mental disorders. For complex disorders there is also a focus on improving the quality of interprofessional work. This paper reports on interprofessional outputs of an educational program on eating disorders. A total of 207 professionals who completed the program were requested to describe up to 12 possible scenarios depicted as realistic prospects for their future work within this field. Analyzing the scenarios resulted in three categories of describing the participants’ preferences: (1) interprofessional interventions and treatment; (2) the further development of competence; and (3) organization of the health care system. The findings showed that the participants were considering working across new lines in their current workplaces or crossing borders to new frontiers in the execution of competence. Our findings may be summarized into the concept of “clinical confidence.” This concept has so far been understood as some kind of personal trait, disposition, or attitude. The present findings add nuances to this concept in terms of state-dependent encouragement, engagement, and a potential to act and to cross professional borders in order to better treat complex mental disorders.
