Disclosure in psychotherapy versus in anonymous and non-anonymous online spaces.

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting individuals' decisions to discuss specific personal issues in psychotherapy vs on social media, either non-anonymously or pseudonymously/anonymously.
