With this second issue of Clinical Psychology, entitled The Confirmation of an Initiative, the journal strengthens its identity as a scientific and professional forum devoted to a public Clinical Psychology that is rigorous and attentive to the complexity of the phenomena encountered in clinical practice. The contributions gathered in these pages portray a living and plural discipline, engaged in an ongoing dialogue with its history, its current care settings, and the challenges that will shape its future.

From institutional and epistemological reflections on clinical complexity and credibility in the helping relationship, to historical analyses of ANPIR itself, this issue weaves together perspectives that integrate professional identity and collective memory. It also addresses core topics such as suicide, dual pathology, psychotherapy in severe mental disorders, and emerging models of collaboration between Primary Care and Mental Health services. The inclusion of proposals for the development of Clinical Psychology in Primary Care, together with the voice of the new generation of PIR residents, reinforces the forward-looking character of this issue, consolidating the journal as a space for clinical reflection, debate, and shared knowledge construction.
