Most of the theories consider the most critical problem in the course of psychotherapy to be the resolution of resistance and present similar concepts, meanings, and effects for its appearance; But most theorists differ widely both in the definition of the types of resistance and its supposed causes and in the methods of dealing with resistant patients. In this article, an attempt has been made to narrative review of the concept of resistance from the perspective of different psychological approaches and the therapeutic techniques proposed by these approaches, by searching for keywords related to the research topic in reliable databases such as Science Direct, Elsevier, Magiran, SID, Google Scholar, and PubMed, and reviewing the studies that were published between 1990-2022 and present the latest revisions in the field of how to challenge resistance. Articles in the form of summaries of essays, short reports, and without access to the full text of the article were excluded from the study. From 150 searched articles, 33 articles were selected and the concept of resistance and related interventions were examined from the perspective of psychoanalytical, cognitive-behavioral, social-psychological, humanistic, and short-term solution-oriented approaches. The results showed that this phenomenon is generally related to the personality characteristics and insights of clients, the structure and style of treatment, therapeutic relationships, therapeutic techniques, characteristics, and interpersonal attitudes of the therapist. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the concept of resistance, identify the threatening and predisposing factors of resistance and, if necessary, carry out appropriate interventions by specialists and therapists.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and meaning and purpose therapy in promoting post-traumatic growth and psychosocial adjustment in breast cancer patients. The current research is a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all breast cancer patients in the Bukan Cancer Patients' Association in 2019, 45 of whom were purposive and were randomly assigned to three groups of cognitive therapy based on mindfulness, therapy based on meaning and purpose, and the control group. In this research, the 46-question Adjustment to Illness Scale–Self-Report (PAIS-SR)-Derogatis (1986) and the post-traumatic growth questionnaire by. Tedeschi & Calhoun (1996) were used. The experimental groups underwent treatment based on meaning and purpose and cognitive therapy based on group mindfulness for 8 weeks and one 60-minute session each week. To analyze the data, the statistical method of multivariate covariance analysis was used. The findings showed that there is a significant difference between the mean of the post-test in the two groups of the test and the test in the variable of psycho-social adaptation and post-traumatic growth (P ≥ 0.01), as evidence of the pre-test effect. In other words, cognitive therapy based on mindfulness was more effective than treatment based on meaning and goal in the variable of psychosocial adjustment, and therapy based on meaning and goal was more effective in the variable of post-traumatic growth than cognitive therapy based on mindfulness.

The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of paradoxical couple therapy (PTC) on marital conflicts and emotion regulation in incompatible couples.

The data were collected with the Wells Anxiety Thoughts Questionnaire (AnTI) (1994) and analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance. The difference of the means showed that there is no significant difference between the two interventions in the post-test (p<0.05); Also, a statistically significant difference was reported between the two interventions and the control group (P<0.01). These two interventions did not have a significant difference in terms of effectiveness on this variable in women affected by infidelity; These results can be seen in the follow-up of both interventions. It can be concluded that schema therapy and therapy based on improving the quality of life are effective on over-anxiety in women affected by infidelity, but there is no difference between the two therapies.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness-based therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy in reducing pain in patients with migraine headaches. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a one-month follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of the research was women suffering from chronic migraine headaches who had visited Sari hospitals in 1400. 45 people were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to three groups (15 people in each group). The research tool included the short-form McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ-2) by Dworkin et al. (2009). One group received mindfulness therapy and one group received cognitive behavioral therapy in 8 sessions (one session of 90 minutes each week). During the implementation of the research, the control group did not receive any intervention. Repeated measurement analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. The results showed that in the post-test and follow-up stage of pain intensity and its components (sensory perception of pain, emotional perception of pain, perception of pain evaluation, various pains), the mean of both experimental groups is lower than the control group (P<0.01) and the mean of the cognitive behavioral group is lower than the group of mindfulness-based therapy (P<0.05). The results of the research showed the preference for using cognitive behavioral therapy compared to mindfulness therapy to improve pain in patients with migraine headaches by psychologists and migraine headache treatment centers.

The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the predictive role of family communication patterns and self-control with dependence on social networks in adolescents. The method of this study was descriptive-correlational.  The statistical population of the study included all female students aged 15-17 years studying in second-grade public high schools in Abyek City in the academic year 2021-20211. Using a non-random sampling method, 258 people were selected and they were evaluated via virtual networks using the Internet addiction test (IAT) (Yang,1998), the revised family communication pattern (RFCP) (Ritchie, 1972), and the self-control scale (SCS) (Tangney et al., 2004). The results of the Pearson correlation test revealed a significant positive relationship (P<0.01) between the communication pattern of conversation and dependence on social networks, and a significant negative relationship (P<0.05) between the communication pattern of conformity and dependence on social networks. But there is no significant relationship between self-control and dependence on social networks. In fact, 19% of the variance of dependence on social networks can be predicted based on family interaction patterns (dialogue, conformity), and the self-control of teenagers. Paying attention to the findings, in order to reduce or prevent dependence on social networks in teenagers, special programs can be developed to improve family interaction patterns.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of transactional analysis on relationship attributions, cognitive regulation strategies of emotion, and differentiation of incompatible couples. The research design was a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population was the incompatible couples who were referred to counseling centers in Jiroft city in 2022, and 40 couples were selected from this population by purposeful sampling, and 20 couples were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. To collect data, the self-differentiation questionnaire (DSI-R) (Skorn and Friedlander, 2003), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies Scale (CERQ) (Garnefsky et al., 2002), and the Relationship Attributions Questionnaire (CDQ) (Bradbury and Fincham, 1992) were used. Data analysis was done by multivariate covariance analysis. The results showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there is a significant difference between the mean of relationship attributions, cognitive regulation strategies of emotion, and differentiation of couples in the post-test of the experimental and control groups at the level of P<0.01. Paying attention to the transactional analysis has an important role in differentiation, relationship attributions, and cognitive regulation strategies of emotion and it is suggested to intervene for incompatible couples.
