In this study, undergraduates (n = 473) were asked to envision that their romantic partner was seeing a psychotherapist individually, and were then asked to rate their distress in response to 16 different descriptions of the context of the psychotherapy. Results indicated that overall, participants felt slightly distressed about their partners being in therapy. All contextual variables examined significantly influenced distress ratings. Distress reached moderate to high levels when clients refused to discuss therapy with partners, partners were unaware of the reason for therapy, clients were physically attracted to therapists, or therapy was long. Implications of these results are discussed.
