The family provides a loving and supportive environment for family members. If a family becomes involved with internal conflict, distortion, and violence between individuals, it loses its status as an emotional-psychological base for its members. In this regard, marital conflict is one of the problems that families face all over the world. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of emotion-based schema therapy and short-term solution-based therapy on psychological well-being and flexibility-action in women with marital conflict. The statistical population of this study included all women referring to psychological centers in Ahvaz in 2019 that 45 women were selected by purposive sampling and randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group. The Marital Conflict Questionnaire (MCQ), Psychological Well-Being (PWB), and Action Flexibility (CD-RIS) questionnaires were used to collect data. The present study was an experimental field study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The first experimental group received emotion-based schema therapy intervention (twelve 120-minutes sessions) and the second experimental group received short-term solution-based therapy (six 120-minutes sessions), and the control group did not receive any intervention. The results showed that both therapeutic interventions were effective in increasing psychological well-being and action flexibility in women with marital conflict who were referred to psychological centers. However, there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of the two therapies on psychological well-being and functional flexibility in the respondents. Therefore, it is possible to use emotion-based therapy schema and short-term solution-based therapies to increase psychological well-being and flexibility of action in these women.

The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the 18-item work-family conflict scale developed by Carlson, et al (2000) as an existing most comprehensive scale and the 6-item work-family conflict scale developed by Matthews et al. (2010) as a short scale with few items. For this purpose, 350 employees of the North Drilling Company of Ahvaz Branch participated in the research and completed the research questionnaires. Examination of the internal consistency of the questionnaire questions by Cronbachchr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s alpha method and the correlation of each question with the total test score showed that these two scales have acceptable reliability. In order to evaluate the validity of the scales, two methods were used: First, the confirmatory factor analysis, as expected, showed that the three-factor models for the work-family and family-work conflict conflict scale Carlson et al. (2000), as well as the two-factor model for the work-family and family-work conflict scale Matthews et al. (2010), fit well with the data. Second, the results of the empirical validity study showed that both work-family conflict scales have a positive relationship with the depression scale and a negative relationship with the satisfaction with life and subjective happiness scales. Overall, the research findings showed that both scales of work-family conflict, similar to the previous research, have acceptable validity and reliability. As a result, it can be used to measure this structure in Iranian employees.

Theories and empirical studies in the development of BPD posit that adverse family context, in which dysfunctional parenting is obvious, is associated with symptoms of BPD. So far, most studies in this area have been focused on retrospective reports of BPD patients from their childhood environment. Due to the limitations of this type of studies and the lack of in-depth study in this area, the present study was conducted to discover and describe parenting in families with offspring suffering from BPD. A qualitative study design using a content analysis approach was used to gather and analyze data. A purposive sample of family members of BPD patients was made. Data were collected by conducting fifteen in-depth unstructured interviews. The recorded conversations of the interviews were written word by word and data analysis was done by administering coding and categorizing strategies. After analyzing the data, "Destructive pattern of parenting" was extracted as the main theme. This theme includes 6 categories: "Physical and emotional maltreatment of children", "Over strict control", "Lack of parental care", "Instability in dealing with children", "Child-centered treatment" and "Prevention of children's autonomy". The results showed that, it seems the dominant behavioral patterns of parents of these people have been inappropriate and destructive which indicates the link between destructive parenting and BPD in offspring. The results, on one hand, emphasize the role of parental behavioral and interactive patterns in the emergence of BPD traits and on the other hand, it highlights the presence of traumatic characteristics in these patients’ families.
