Abstract
There are unique challenges faced by younger (emerging) adults in their changing relationships and social roles. Using the subscales of the OQ-45 in a sample of 402 adults beginning psychotherapy we found that younger adults reported greater social role and general symptom distress, but not greater relationship distress.
