The results showed that the average opinions of professors of accounting, economics, management and psychology regarding the validation of the model were 4.48 out of 5, which is equal to 89.6%; Therefore, the proposed model has a very high degree of validity and based on the validation of research quality and the model based on the "acceptability" index of Strauss and Corbin, the financial empowerment model based on financial therapeutic approaches has good quality and credibility. Also, in the confirmatory factor analysis of goodness indicators, the fit of the structural model is desirable and has a good fit.
