There is ample research which indicates that the wife more frequently initiates and is more willing to be involved in therapy, than the husband. The present research compared two groups of married couples, in one, males were the initiators of psychotherapy (MI group), and in the other, females were the initiators of psychotherapy (FI group). It was hypothesized that the MI group would be more maritally maladjusted than the 1 group. Besides a biographical questionnaire, Locke-Wallace scale of marital adjustment and Family Concept Inventory were administered to the subjects. The results did not yield any significant differences between the two groups. The reasons for this outcome were discussed.
