This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of transdiagnostic treatment for emotional disorders in reducing internalizing behavioral problems in children aged 8 to 12 with parents experiencing emotional divorce. The statistical population encompassed all minors within this age bracket who visited health centers in Shahreza County in 2021. A total of 30 children (18 girls and 12 boys) were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups after completing pre-test questionnaires. The mothers of these children scored above the threshold point on the emotional divorce questionnaire. For fifteen sessions, the experimental group received transdiagnostic integrated treatment for emotional disorders. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was implemented to analyze the research data. The results indicated that the treatment group's score of internalizing problems was considerably lower than that of the control group in both the post-test and follow-up stages (p < 0.05). Additionally, these effects remained consistent throughout the follow-up phase. According to the results of this study, transdiagnostic treatment for emotional disorders not only mitigates internalizing behavioral issues in children but also sustains these effects over time. These results underscore the significance of addressing the psychological requirements of these children and indicate that similar psychological interventions may be effective in enhancing their emotional and psychological well-being. Additionally, it is advised that such treatment programs be implemented in health and educational facilities to improve the psychological well-being of children in comparable circumstances.

Childhood fears are one of the most common childhood psychological problems that must be diagnosed and treated in time. The purpose of this research was to compare the effectiveness of play therapy and the Kendall therapy program on the fear of female children.

This research was conducted quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test and follow-up plan with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all girls suffering from fear in the first and second grade of elementary school in Isfahan city in 2021-2022. Using a multi-stage random sampling method, 45 people were selected and randomly assigned to three groups of play therapy, therapy program Kendall and the control group were divided. To collect data, Ollandik's children's fear questionnaire (1983) was used and to analyze the data, SPSS-24 software was used with repeated analysis of variance.

The results of the research showed that the overall score of the fear scale in both the game therapy group and the Kendall group decreased significantly in both the post-test and the follow-up phase (P<0.0001), but it seems that the game Treatment is more effective than Kendall's treatment in reducing children's fear.

It can be said that play therapy and Kendall therapy are effective psychotherapies to reduce the fears of female children. Therefore, in order to treat anxiety disorders in children and improve their mental health, mental health professionals can benefit from these treatments, especially play therapy.

Suicidal thoughts in adolescence can have irreparable consequences due to poor control over life, feelings of social loneliness, problems with parents and friends, and weakness in problem-solving and emotion management (1). Although Iran ranks 58th in the world with a suicide rate of 6 people per 100,000 people, it is necessary to address this psychological-social variable (2). In the field of etiology of suicide, although suffering from mental disorders (3), including depression, has been reported in 40-60% of people (4), recent studies emphasize the effect of biological factors, including neurotrophins (5). Among the neurotrophins, BDNF has attracted more study attention. BDNF maintains normal neurogenesis, synaptic function, neuroplasticity, and neuronal survival (6). So far, different and sometimes contradictory results have been proposed regarding the relationship between BDNF and depression (7, 8), and some believe that BDNF levels decrease significantly in suicidal patients (9). Culture and cultural context are also vital factor influencing suicide (11). In Iran, several qualitative studies have been conducted to identify the causes of suicidal behavior and thoughts (2, 12, 13). Azimi et al. showed that the causes of suicidal thoughts in teenage girls are: 1- Negative attitude toward the father (due to hard family life, lack of warmth between family members, and deprivation of freedom) 2- Perception of hopelessness (individual and social) 3- Unsafe school (unfavorable role of the teacher, school staff and education system) 4- Lack of religious excellence (lack of correct knowledge about God, defective attachment to God, external orientation towards religion) 5- Individual lack of maturity (problem in skills life, cognitive and emotion regulation) (13).
Among the psychological treatments, CBT has received the most research for treating depression and suicide among adolescents. However, its effectiveness seems to be influenced by the cultural and religious backgrounds of the clients (22). Similarly, at least half of the patients who undergo CB still experience psychosocial symptoms after the termination of treatment (15). Kennedy (2019) believes that the reason for the emergence and persistence of disease symptoms in people should be sought in biological components (16). In the current research, in line with the need to pay attention to biological and cultural factors in psychotherapy, a treatment protocol based on the psychological-cultural model has been designed and examined and compared with CBT treatment on depression and suicidal thoughts and BDNF. Besides, the modulating role of BDNF on the effectiveness of treatments on psychological variables was investigated.

This is a quasi-experimental research (pre-test. post-test, and control group). The study population consisted of 15-year-old female students in Isfahan who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling of 45 people and randomly assigned to three groups cognitive-behavioral therapy, culture-based psychotherapy, and control group (without intervention). The CBT was implemented according to the valid protocols provided (27, 28). To design psychotherapy based on culture, according to the components of the cultural-psychological model (13), the interventions whose effectiveness was confirmed were selected. The techniques were arranged in the form of an integrated and coherent treatment package and presented to six experts. The agreement coefficient about the content of the treatment sessions was between 0.96 to 0.98 was obtained. Both intervention groups included 12 sessions of adolescent education and three sessions of parent education. Research variables were assessed through Beck Depression Inventory (1996), the Multi-attitude Suicide Tendency Scale (Orbach et al., 1981), and blood samples Data were analyzed using SPSS-24 software, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).

First, the statistical assumptions were checked through the Shapiro-Wilk test, and the results showed that the variables had a normal distribution. Lune's test also showed that the variances of the three groups were homogeneous. The assumption of homogeneity of the slope of the regression lines was also maintained. The results of the univariate covariance analysis test showed that after controlling the pre-test scores of the subjects, a difference was found between the mean post-test scores of the research groups in depression variables (F=6.230, P<0.05, η=0.247) and thoughts suicide (F=4.183, P<0.05, η=0.180) a significant difference was observed. However, no significant difference was found between the groups in BDNF (F=0.229, P<0.05, η=0.012). The statistical power indicated the relative adequacy of the sample size. Pairwise comparisons in the LSD test showed that both treatment groups decreased the scores of the participants in both depression and suicidal thoughts variables compared to the control group (P<0.05). However, in both mentioned variables, no significant difference was observed between culture-based psychotherapy and CBT. Furthermore, in this study, the modulating effect of BDNF was investigated. The assumptions of covariance analysis were valid. The assumption of sphericity was also checked and confirmed by using Mauchly's test of Sphericity W statistic (P<0.05). The results of covariance analysis with repeated measures indicated that BDNF could not moderate the effects of treatment on suicidal thoughts in any intervention groups (P<0.05).

The effectiveness of both treatment groups in reducing depression and suicidal thoughts was confirmed, and no difference was observed between the two groups in terms of effectiveness. Emphasis on self-knowledge, recognition of thoughts and feelings, cognitive errors, problem-solving, lifestyle, and communication skills leads to the effectiveness of both treatments on the level of depression of people. Indeed, four axes of depression have been considered in both treatments, including cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and physiological changes (through lifestyle).
In the field of suicidal thoughts, in culture-based psychotherapy (according to the research of Azimi et al.), in addition to individual maturity and cognitive skills, the cultural context, including the socio-economic characteristics of the family, religious characteristics, identity background (with an emphasis on gender identity) as a girl and existing conditions (such as facilities and characteristics of schools and the possibility of employment in the future) were widely considered. Although the role-playing method is one of the CBT techniques, in culture-based psychotherapy, this technique was used in a more evolved derived from psychodrama therapy in most therapy sessions, and interpersonal relationships and regulation of emotions and behavioral skills. It was investigated practically and more deeply. Also, in culture-based psychotherapy, in addition to cognitive treatments, ultra-modern treatment techniques were used. Besides, based on the three axes of mind awareness and acceptance of emotions and thoughts, the need to persevere in reaching the goal (committed action) and cultivating a compassionate mind was emphasized. For example, one of the factors predicting vulnerability to suicide is the ability to resist negative emotions and coping strategies; this ability under the title of accepting and tolerating distress was one of the techniques in culture-based psychotherapy (derived from the DBT approach). Furthermore, considering that suicide is an injury arising from the conflict between the situations (socio-economic conditions). It desires that the techniques used in culture-based psychotherapy can lead to acceptance of the situation and realistic goal setting, reducing the lead to suicidal thoughts. Techniques used in culture-based psychotherapy, such as self-knowledge, distress tolerance, problem-solving, considering family relationships, purposefulness, self-efficacy, and cognitive flexibility, not only the totality of the individual's psyche but also family relationships and problem-solving methods according to environmental and cultural conditions, were considered.
In the present study, the significant effect of both interventions on BDNF was not confirmed, and the moderating effect of BDNF on psychological variables was not significant. The present results are inconsistent with some studies based on the moderating role of BDNF on the effectiveness of treatment (18, 19, 21) and consistent with some studies that show no effect of BDNF on the results of therapeutic interventions (29, 30). Response to pharmacological treatment occurs more quickly (33), whereas the response to psychotherapy may take months (32) and depends on factors such as the therapeutic relationship (35). BDNF levels tend to be stable over time (36); therefore, it is necessary to investigate the treatment results on this biological variable for a longer time. Seemingly, the contradictory findings in different studies are due to the influence of other variables (including biological and clinical variables) that have not yet been identified and taken into account. Future studies regarding the interaction of biological variables, psychological components, and treatments may provide additional insights.

Psychological perceptions are concerned with how a person perceives and psychologically frames life with an illness. The current study sought to examine the psychological perceptions of women suffering from Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder in the setting of Isfahan, Iran.

The study was done according a qualitative design, and it was conducted in Isfahan, Iran, from July 2018 to February 2019. Twenty in-depth interviews were performed with 20 patients who were recruited on the purposeful method. The thematic analysis approach was used to analyze the data. The data were organized using MAXQDA software (version 12).

The following four themes were extracted: (i) Dysfunctional cognition, which includes five
sub-themes: attention bias, belief bias, memory bias, perceptual bias, and cognitive distortion; and (ii) Relationship and partner factors, which include four sub-themes: psychological maltreatment, aggression, deception, and betrayal.; (iii) lack of life skills, which includes four sub-themes: poor problem-solving, poor sexual knowledge, poor understanding and intimate relationships, and immature defense mechanisms; and (iv) lack of motivation and genuine interest, which includes two sub-themes: forced marriage and lack of initial affection and attraction to the husband.

Internal and interpersonal factors were shown to have a role in the creation of sexual arousal disorder in Iranian women, according to the study. As a result, designing scenarios for cognitive bias modification and educational programs for improving interpersonal skills would be beneficial.

Present study was conducted to predict positive mental health and post-traumatic growth in nurses of coronavirus care unit based on optimism, by considering the mediating role of resilience and cognitive emotion regulation.

Research method is structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population includes all nurses in Isfahan who worked in coronarvirus care hospitals; 230 of them were selected by available sampling method. Research instruments include the revised Life Orientation Questionnaire (Scheier and Carver, 2015), cognitive emotion regulation (Garnefski et al., 2006), resilience (Schumacher et al., 2005), post-traumatic growth and development (Tedeschi, 1996) and positive mental health (Lakut et al., 2016). SPSS version 23 and Amos version 23 were used to analyze the data.

results showed that optimism was both directly and indirectly through cognitive emotion regulation strategy and resilience has a positive effect on post-traumatic growth (β = 0.408, P <0.01) and positive mental health (381/38). 0 = β, P <0.01).

findings of research in addition to practical and theoretical implications, can be used as a useful model to provide useful services to nurses to provide growth and development after truama and promote mental health.

Several studies have examined the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on the severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms. But research that examines the effectiveness of this treatment in combination with Theraplay on the symptoms and function of children with obsessive-compulsive disorder has been neglected.

The present study investigates the effectiveness of combination therapy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Theraplay on the symptoms and Function of children with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test with 3-month follow-up and control group. The statistical population of the study included all children with obsessive-compulsive disorder aged 8 to 12 years in Esfahan in 2019, along with their mothers at the time of the study, of which 20 children with their parents, after an authentic psychiatrist or psychologist diagnosed them with obsessive-compulsive disorder and they obtained at least a score of 14 on the Children's Yale-Brown OC Scale, were selected based on Purposive sampling method and randomly assigned into the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received the combination therapy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Theraplay for 10 sessions of individual counseling, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Instruments used in the study included Children's Yale-Brown OC Scale(CY-BOCS), Child Obsessive Compulsive Impact Scale – Revised(COIS-R / P) and Marschak Interaction Method Behavior Rating System.

To analyze the findings, inferential statistics methods of analysis of repeated measures were used. The findings of this study confirmed the effect of combination therapy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Theraplay on reducing the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, improvement overall performance and the improvement of academic, social, family and daily livng skills performance(P<0/05).

The combination therapy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Theraplay is effective to reduce symptoms and improve Function in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) on emotional regulation and distress tolerance of addicted women leaving by the mediating role of mindfulness, effective communication and emotional cognitive regulation strategies. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and control group. The statistical population included all addicted women leaving in Isfahan city. The sample consisted of 60 women prisoners leaving drugs who were selected based on available sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Measurement tools included the Negative Mood Regulation Questionnaire (Catanzaro & Mearns, 1990), the Distress Tolerance Scale (Simmons & Gaher, 2005) and the Researcher Made Behavioral-Emotional Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using analysis of covariance and analysis of variance. Findings showed that dialectical behavior therapy has led to increased emotion regulation skills and tolerance of anxiety in the experimental group (P <0.001), and the effect of this treatment remains until the quarterly follow-up. Also, the mediating role of mindfulness, effective communication and emotional cognitive regulation strategies in post-test was statistically significant (P <0.05).

Obsessive-compulsive disorder affects all aspects of the lives of children and these effects are less considered in the health and clinical system, so the aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on the severity of symptoms and Function of children with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Methods and Materials: 

The present study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test with 3-month follow-up and control group. The statistical population of the study included all children with obsessive-compulsive disorder aged 8 to 12 years in Esfahan in 2019, along with their mothers at the time of the study, of which 20 children with their parents, after an authentic psychiatrist or psychologist diagnosed them with obsessive-compulsive disorder and they obtained at least a score of 14 on the Childrenchr('39')s Yale-Brown OCD Scale, were selected based on Purposive sampling method and randomly assigned into the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received acceptance and commitment therapy treatment for 10 sessions of individual, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Instruments used in the study included Childrenchr('39')s Yale-Brown OCD Scale, Childrenchr('39')s Global Assessment Scale and Child Obsessive Compulsive Impact Scale – Revised. To analyze the findings, inferential statistics methods of analysis of repeated measures were used.

Comparison of experimental group with control group showed that the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder were significantly reduced in the experimental group compared to the control group and the improvement of childrenchr('39')s overall function in the post-test and follow-up stages was confirmed (p≤.0.05). so that 71% and 63% of the changes in overall functioning and Total score of symptom severity are affected by acceptance and commitment therapy, respectively. But the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on family and social functioning was not significant (P≥0.05).

Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective in reducing symptoms and improving overall function in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Perfectionism is a personality trait whose negative aspect becomes obsessive and causes many problems for the individual and the family. In addition to perfectionism, many variables make coupleschr('39') compatibility difficult which different therapies seek to reduce them.

This semi-experimental study was conducted with two experimental groups and a pretest-posttest design with 40-day follow-up. The statistical population of this study included 200 self-reported couples who referred to Isfahan Social Emergency Counseling Center (Mosalla), Isfahan, Iran, for their marital problems in 2016. The sample group was voluntarily selected from among clients referring to the Social Emergency Counseling Clinic. Group couple therapy based on reality therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) was done for both groups in eight sessions of two hours. Data were collected through Perfectionism Questionnaire and needs adjustment  and were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) via SPSS software.

There was no significant difference between the effectiveness of group couple therapy based on reality therapy and ACT on adaptive perfectionism, but there was a significant difference in maladaptive perfectionism
(P < 0.050). Besides, there was a significant difference between the effectiveness of group couple therapy based on reality therapy and ACT on adjustment of coupleschr('39') needs (P < 0.050).

The results of this study showed that reality-based couple therapy was effective in reducing incomplete perfectionism, and ACT was effective in adjusting the needs of couples. Therefore, these two approaches can be used in couple counseling.

Visually impaired compared to sighted youths experience more perceived stress and less social adjustment. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on reducing perceived stress and enhancing the social adjustment of youths with visual impairment.

The statistical population of the present study included all youth with blindness and severe visual impairment aged 20-35 in Isfahan having a dossier in the Welfare Organization of Isfahan county and blind associations. Among these people, 40 with visual impairment were selected using convenient sampling method and then randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The research instruments included Cohen’s Perceived Stress Questionnaire (1983) and the California Social Adjustment Questionnaire (1939). The data were analyzed running repeated measure ANOVA using SPSS, version 24.

We found that in the post-test phase, compared to the control group, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group had lower scores in perceived stress and higher scores in social adjustment (p < 0.01) and this pattern maintained one month after treatment (p < 0/05).

Therefore, it seems that ACT is a promising treatment for reducing perceived stress and enhancing the social adjustment of youths with visual impairment.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of psychodrama with the content of life skills on loneliness, happiness, affective relationships and parents’ social support in adolescents dependent on the cellphone. The design of this study was experimental and pretest-posttest and follow-up with the control group. The study population included female high school students in Khomeinishahr. The statistical sample of this study included 30 students dependent on the cellphone who were selected by cluster sampling and randomly assigned to two groups of 15 participants. To collect data. the scale of mobile dependence MPAI Lung (2007), Affective family climate of Hill Burn (1964), Parents' Social Support of Prosidano and Heller (1983), Happiness OHQ (1987), and UCLA Loneliness (1980) was used. The results of multivariate covariance analysis showed that sessions of psychodrama with the content of life skills were effective in reducing loneliness, increasing happiness, improving adolescent affective relationships and social support of their parents and these effects stayed stable in follow-up (p

Nowadays, flexibility is the subject of special attention in the field of mental health and the scope of related research is increasing every day. The purpose of the present study was to construct and investigate the psychometric properties and factor structure of the adolescents' psychological flexibility scale. Four-hundred-sixty students were selected from six schools from the eighth and ninth grades (with emphasis on the ninth grade) by the multistage sampling method from six schools in Isfahan city. The instruments were Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). In factor analysis, the three factors of commitment, lack of perfectionism, and openness to experience were effective in forming themental flexibility variable. The obtained results showed that the present scale is a tool that has appropriate reliability (stability, internal consistency) and validity for measuring psychological flexibility. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses in this study confirmed the appropriate construct validity of this scale.

Today, interventions to create a high psychological well-being in the age old have been prioritized for reasons such as decreasing physical capacity and the loss of social and occupational bases in the old age . The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of four-dimensional physical-psychological interventions (Alexander technique, dohsa-hou method, compositional memorization, role playing, and combination method on the promotion of positive components of psychological well-being and Functional health among people age old ).

The sample consisted of 75 women aged 60-75 years old in Isfahan who were assigned to 5 groups of 15 (4 experimental and 1 control group) and received relevant interventions. The positive components of psychological well-being, including social interaction, life satisfaction, life expectancy, happiness and functional health in pre-test, post-test and follow-up were measured by standard or researcher-made tests.

The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the main effect for all groups in all variables was significant (P = 0.001). Also, for the social interaction variable, the effect of Alexander's therapeutic approach, and for other research variables, is the effect of all three therapies (Alexander technique, dohsa-hou, and memory retrieval) more than other methods.

In order to increase psychological well-being in aging and to improve social interaction, life expectancy, happiness, life satisfaction and functional health, in this period, the use of psychosocial interventions in this research, namely, Alexander technique, dohsa-hou and memory retrieval, is recommended.

With the inter of old age, it gradually diminishes the psychological and social activities of individuals, which increases the mood syndrome of depression, anxiety, stress and social isolation of the elderly.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of four-dimensional physical-psychological interventions (Alexander technique, dohsa-hou method, compositional reminiscence & role playing, and combination method on the Improving Levels of Mood Syndrome and social isolation in age old Women.

The statistical population was all women at the end of middle age and the beginning of the elderly period in Isfahan. The sample consisted of 75 women aged 60-75 years’ old who were assigned to five groups of 15 (four experimental and one control group) and received relevant interventions. The depression, anxiety, stress and social isolation in pre-test, post-test and follow-up were measured by standard or researcher-made tests.

The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the main effect for all groups in all variables was significant (P=0.001). Although the combination method was significantly more effective than other therapeutic methods on depression, stress and social isolation, reminiscence had a significantly more effective effect on reducing anxiety than other therapies.

 In order to increase psychological well-being in aging and to improve mood creation as well as promoting social interactions in this period, the use of psychological psychological interventions in this research is recommended, such as Alexander, dohsa-hou method and reminiscence.

This research aimed to study a causal model of the relationship among religion, psychological hardiness, worldism, and problem-solving among soldiers. 110 soldiers with different service years were selected by the simple random sampling among the population (soldiers of the Fourth Base of Air-Force in the city of Isfahan) and responded to worldism questionnaire (MASAD), Ahvaz Hardiness Inventory (AHI), Khodayarifard's religiosity questionnaire, and Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised (SPSI-R). The findings showed that a) religion directly affects problem-solving; b) religion also influences problem-solving by increasing hardiness and decreasing worldism. As a result, religion has an important role in facing life stresses and it can adjust the effects of severe crises in life

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of individual and group play therapy on interpersonal interaction, attention span, behavioral control and emotional control, in pre-school children.
The statistical population of the study was all pre-schoolchildren of Isfahan City in 2016 among whom 39 children selected by multistage cluster sampling and assigned randomly to individual play therapy (n=13), group play therapy (n=13) and control group (n=13). For the two experimental groups, 10 weekly intervention sessions were held, but the control group received no intervention. Interpersonal interaction questionnaire, distraction scale, attention span scale, behavioral control scale and emotional control scale were responded by the children's parents as the instruments of the study in pre-test and post-test stages. Data were analyzed by MANCOVA and L.S.D.
Findings: The results showed that individual play therapy has been effective on, attention range and emotional control. Also, group play therapy has had significant effects on all dependent variables (p Based on the results of the study, both individual and group play therapy have considerable effects on children' cognitive and behavioral problems, but the rate and range of group play therapy are more than individual play therapy.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Dosah-hou treatment and Massage Therapy on improvement of happiness, social adjustment, hope, mental health and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease.
The research was quasi-experimental. The statistical population of this study were all of patients with Parkinson's disease who were clients of therapeutic centers in Isfahan City in 2015. Among this population 28 patients were selected through convenience sampling as the sample of the study that Randomly assigned to two groups Dosah-hou and massage therapy (n = 14 per group). Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Social Adjustment Scale, Adult Hope Scale (AHS), General Health Questionnaire, and Word Health Quality of Life Questionnaire, were used as the instruments of the study. Data analyzed by Mixed ANOVA.
The results showed that both interventions of this study can improve happiness, hope and mental health significantly in patients with Parkinson's disease (P
Based on the results of this study, Dosah-hou treatment and Massage Therapy are effective interventions in promotion of happiness, hope and mental health in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Aim and This research aimed to study behavioral-emotional problems and skills of 6 to 12 year-old children with their parents suffering cancer, and compare them with children with cancer-free parents.
Methods and Materials: The study enjoyed an ex post facto design. The samples included two convenient groups of 80 persons; a group of 80 children with parents suffering cancer and another group of 80 with cancer-free parents. The measure was Child Behavioral Checklist Parent Report. For statistical analysis of the findings, a mixed one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), Mann–Whitney-U test and correlation coefficient were performed.
Findings: There was a significant difference between the two groups regarding the variables of community and activities (P = 0.01). Moreover, there was a significant difference between the two groups in all three dimensions of internalized problems, one dimension of externalized problem, (P = 0.01).
Although parent's chronic diseases such as cancer can cause emotional and behavioural problems in children, they can also create field compensatory behaviors, such as advances in school in order to please parents or compensate for their dissatisfaction with medical incompetence.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of massage, Dosah-hou and Alexander Technique on happiness, social adjustment, hope, mental health and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. The statistical population of this study were all of patients with Parkinson's disease who were clients of neural therapeutic centers in Isfahan City in 2015. Among this population 42 patients selected through convenience sampling as the sample of the study. Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), Social Adjustment Scale (SAS), Adult Hope Scale (AHS), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), and Word Health Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL), were used as the instruments of the study. Data analyzed by ANOVA with repeated measures. The results showed that research on the effectiveness of interventions between the dependent variables in the test phase ,but there was no significant difference in follow-up ,compared to other interventions Dosah-hou research on happiness is effective .more effective possible explanations are discossed.

The objective of this paper is to study the relationship between Perception of paternal Rejection–Acceptance and Control on Moral Intelligence and Distress Tolerance of the residents of Isfahan City. A Total of 195 men and women of 20-30 years of age were selected through random sampling. The Parental Acceptance-Rejection/Control Questionnaire (Adult PARQ), MCI and Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) were used. Path Analysis as well as descriptive-correlational research method were employed. The findings of the research indicate that the direct path between perception of parental rejection and acceptance with moral intelligence, perception of paternal rejection and perception of maternal control with distress tolerance as well as moral intelligence with distress tolerance is significant. On the other hand, perception of parental rejection and acceptance through moral intelligence has very low indirect impact on distress tolerance. The findings also show the impact of perception of parental rejection and acceptance on moral intelligence. Distress tolerance also is influenced by perception of maternal rejection and paternal control as well as moral intelligence.

Aim and Personality traits such as perfectionism can cause or aggravate underlying physical or psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study was to compare neurotic perfectionism and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) among patients with skin disorders and healthy individuals and investigate the role of perfectionism and BDD in the risk of skin diseases.
Methods and Materials: This was a descriptive-correlational study. The study subjects were selected through single-stage cluster sampling. For data collection, 2 clinics were randomly selected, and from among their clients, 112 were selected. In addition, 106 healthy individuals who were matched with the study group for demographic variables were selected as the control group. After obtaining informed consents, the participants completed the Farsi version of the Neurotic Perfectionism Questionnaire and Body Dysmorphic Symptoms Scale.
Findings: The mean scores of neurotic perfectionism and BDD in patients with skin disorders were significantly higher than healthy subjects (P Neurotic perfectionism and BDD can cause and intensify skin disorders, and consequently, cause BDD in individuals suffering from all types of skin disorders. Therefore, it is important for physicians and specialists to be aware of perfectionism characteristics and BDD in order to provide psychotherapeutic services and promote the treatment process.

Personality traits affect human relationships, social interactions, treatment procedures, and essentially all human activities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the personality traits -including sensation seeking, flexibility, and happiness - among a variety of infertile women who were apt to choose assisted reproductive technology (ART) or surrogacy.
This is a cross-sectional study that was performed on 251 infertile women who visited Isfahan and Tehran Reproductive Medicine Center. These fertility clinics are located in Isfahan and Tehran, Iran. In this study, 201 infertile women who underwent treatment using ART and 50 infertile women who tended to have surrogacy were chosen by convenience sampling. Zuckerman’s Sensation Seeking Scale Form V (SSS-V), Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire (adapted from NEO Personality Inventory-Revised) and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) were used as research instruments. All participants had to complete the research instruments in order to be included in this study. Data were analyzed by descriptive-analytical statistics and statistical tests including multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and Z Fisher.

This study examined the causal model of relation between marital relationship status, happiness, and mental health in infertile individuals. In this descriptive study, 155 subjects (men: 52 and women: 78), who had been visited in one of the infertility Centers, voluntarily participated in a self-evaluation. Golombok Rust Inventory of Marital Status, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, and General Health Questionnaire were used as instruments of the study. Data was analyzed by SPSS17 and Amos 5 software using descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, and path analysis. Disregarding the gender factor, marital relationship status was directly related to happiness (p<0.05) and happiness was directly related to mental health, (p<0.05). Also, indirect relation between marital relationship status and mental health was significant (p<0.05). These results were confirmed in women participants but in men participants only the direct relation between happiness and mental health was significant (p<0.05). Based on goodness of model fit in fitness indexes, happiness had a mediator role in relation between marital relationship status and mental health in infertile individuals disregarding the gender factor. Also, considering the gender factor, only in infertile women, marital relationship status can directly and indirectly affect happiness and mental health.

The present paper seeks to predict the lifestyle based on religious attitude and moral commitment among those who have and those who lack divorce experience. A descriptive-correlative method is used in this research. The statistical universe includes all people -male and female- in Isfahan (from among those who filed for divorce and who did not). 103 individuals from among those who filed for divorce and 102 individuals from among those who did not file for divorce were selected through the available sampling. A questionnaire on religious attitude, a questionnaire on marital commitment and a questionnaire on lifestyle were used in this research. Pearson correlation and stepwise regression were used to analyze the data. The research findings show that only religious attitude can significantly predict the lifestyle of those who have and those who lack divorce experience. Therefore, religious attitude can be considered as one of the important factors affecting lifestyle, regardless of having or lacking divorce experience.
