Abstract
To test the psychodynamic premise that psychotherapy training induces emotional depletion and detracts from marital intimacy, 29 married mental health trainees completed the Jourard Self-Disclosure Questionnaire, the Marital Attitudes Evaluation, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and an abbreviated version of the Sexual Interaction Inventory. Contrary to expectation, marital distress was not greater among psychiatric residents and psychology interns more deeply involved in psychotherapy training than among their less invested counterparts. The failure to confirm is discussed in relation to alternative theoretical formulations and methodological limitations.
