“…Small and often non-significant correlations between reported and observed competence have repeatedly been observed in previous studies on practitioners (Chevron & Rounsaville, 1983;Mathieson, Barnfield, & Beaumont, 2010), including research on observer-and self-ratings after training in family therapy (Perlesz, Stolk, & Firestone, 1990). Sometimes, overestimations are seen (Brosan, Reynolds, & Moore, 2008);sometimes underestimations (McManus, Rakovshik, Kennerley, Fennell, & Westbrook, 2012)-presumably at least partly because of differential perceived consequences of over-and underestimation in a particular context.…”
