title: Prescription privileges: a dearth of confidence in psychological interventions.
abstract: Summary.-Starker and Pankratz (1996) reported that psychologists have very high confidence in the efficacy of psychotropic medications relative to psychological interventions. In this paper it is argued that this lack of professional self-confidence is the central dynamism in the prescription privileges movement.
