Effectiveness Schema Therapy on Couple Resiliency of On the Verge of Divorccace in Tehran

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of schema therapy on the level of resilience of women seeking a divorce in Tehran. The method of this study was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest and control group. The statistical population of this study included all women seeking a divorce who were referred to the court counseling department by the Tehran City Family Court, of which 60 were selected by available or voluntary sampling. Then, the experimental and control groups of 30 were randomly assigned. The seven-session schema therapy protocol was performed on the experimental group. In the pre-test and post-test stages, both groups completed the Divorce Tendency Scale of Rosbelt et al. (2001) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003). The results of multivariate analysis showed that schema therapy had a significant effect on the resilience of women seeking a divorce (P<0.05). Based on this, it can be said that schema therapy has an effect on psychological variables such as womenchr('39')s resilience who seek divorce and increases its level. Accordingly, for future studies on women seeking a divorce, it is best to use schema therapy to increase mental health-related variables.
