The present study was conducted to extract the intellectual foundations of cognitive therapy by emphasizing the role of Stoic philosophy and its critique based on Islamic thought, in order to make effective use of cognitive therapy and to be an introduction for designing therapies with Islamic principles. Argumentative-critical review method, information was collected and discussed and concluded. Findings show that the most important influential foundations of Stoic philosophy in cognitive therapy are free will and individualism in anthropology and moral relativism in axiology. On the contrary, according to Islamic thought in the anthropological foundations of Islam, although man is free in his choices, but the scope of his choices is drawn within the framework of divine laws. In axiological foundations, moral values ​​are rooted in objective facts. Cognitive therapy based on such intellectual principles indicates a therapy that is somewhat incompatible with the Islamic intellectual framework, which is a divine paradigm, and does not call man to the truth of his existence.

For this purpose, all Qur’anic verses were firstly investigated by determining the semantic analysis unit and verses related to both stressful condition and coping strategies were extracted.Content validity of verses concerning the stressful condition were proved by five experts. To analyze the data , verses relate to coping were then coded by Hsieh & Shannon’s qualitative content analysis in three steps. Three experts proved the content validity of the coding. Findings from the study showed that there were 25 stressful conditions in Qur’anic verses in which four coping strategies van be identified : communication with God , communication with oneself , communication with others and communication with reality.

The second objective of the present study was to investigate the moderating role of spiritual health and ego-strength on the relationship between spiritual/religious perfectionism and mental health.

Such determinant role is further supported by a positive correlation detected between spiritual/religious perfectionism and indices of spiritual health and ego-strength. Spiritual/religious perfectionism, as a new conceptualization of perfectionism separate from nonspiritual/nonreligious perfectionism, is confirmed by significant correlations between Spiritual/religious perfectionism and indices of mental health, spiritual health, and ego-strength in the present study.

The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) in Iran. This tool has six factors. This tool was completed by 348 Iranian participants. The results of exploratory factor analysis supported the four-factor structure of the questions, and these four factors in order of importance respectively were: personal growth, social interest, construction of social and professional image, and influence of social groups. The adaptation of the exploratory factor structure to the main model of the instrument showed that the fourth factor, i.e., the social factor, was equally relevant in the Iranian population and the items related to other factors were appropriate with a combination of the original model factors. Confirmatory factor analysis with four-factor and six-factor models also showed that the data with four-factor model provide better fit indices. The reliability of the factors was ranged from 0.84 to 0.92. Also, the positive and significant correlation between volunteer function inventory and Basic empathy scale supported the convergent validity of this inventory. It seems that the Persian version of the inventory of volunteer functions with four factors can better evaluate the functions of volunteers among the Iranian population.
