The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between body image and postpartum depression among women with their first pregnancy in Qaemshahr city. The research method was descriptive and correlational. The research participants were 175 primiparous women of Qaemshahr city in the first 3 months of 1403, who were selected by available method. The tools used in the research were the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Standard Questionnaire (EPDS), Body Image (BICI) Littleton et al. (2005). In order to investigate the research hypothesis, Pearson's correlation test was used using spss version 21 software. The research findings showed that the correlation coefficient between fear of body image and postpartum depression was 0.673. Thus, the correlation test showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between fear of body image and postpartum depression in the studied samples. In general, it can be concluded that with increasing fear of body image, the level of postpartum depression also increases.

The present study was conducted to understand the lived experience of mothers of children with recovered ADHD. This research is a qualitative case study of the phenomenological type. Since the aim of this study was to explore the participant's lived experience, a phenomenological approach was utilized. The participant was selected using purposive sampling. She is 35 years old and has a child with ADHD. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured and in-depth interviews, and the information was recorded. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used for data analysis. The emerging themes were the experience being exhausting and challenging, the impact on the family, realizing the need for help, practicing self-care, specific strategies for aiding learning, acceptance, coordination between parents, and maintaining a consistent parenting style.

The participant considers this experience to be frustrating and challenging, feeling repeatedly tested by her child's behaviors. However, contrary to the findings of many studies, she does not perceive this experience as stressful. This is because she has managed to reduce her vulnerability to distressing emotions and enhance her positive emotions by learning distress tolerance skills such as active acceptance, the stop technique, and relaxation exercises.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of rational-emotional behavior therapy (REBT) on reducing the symptoms of persistent depression in junior high school girls. The research design was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all first-grade high school students in Najafabad. Among them, 30 people in the first stage based on the Kovacs questionnaire (CDI, Kovacs 1985) and in the second stage based on the Depression Test of Children and Adolescents (CADS, Jan Bozorgi, Hosseini, 2005) and also clinical interviews (Sadock & Sadock, 2015), with criteria of persistent depression Were identified and selected as a sample, which were randomly replaced in experimental (15) and control (15) groups, then group counseling intervention in a logical-emotional manner in 14 sessions of 60 to 90 minutes and twice in Weeks were done for the experimental group. The research results were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance and multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that rational-emotional group counseling (REBT) had a significant effect on reducing the symptoms of persistent depression in the experimental group (P <0.05). It seems that rational-emotional intervention can be used to increase self-esteem and reduce feelings of dissatisfaction, feelings of futility in persistent depression. This treatment improves persistent depression in adolescent girls.

The present study was conducted with the aims of investigating the mediating role of self-discrepancy in adolescents between family processes and counterproductive academic behaviors. The participants included 261 people (117 boys and 144 girls) from second year high school students in Shiraz city,who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and completed the Family Processes (Samani, 2008), Self- discrepancy (Sadeghzadeh, 2007), and Counterproductive Behaviors Scales (Rimkus, 2012).The results of reliability and validity using Cronbachs’ alpha coefficient and factor analysis were favaroble. The results of the model review using the Structural Equations Modeling method and the mediation analysis using the bootstrap technique in version 21 AMOS software indicated that self-discrepancy can’t play the mediating role between family processes and counterproductive academic behavior but when types of self (real self, ought self and ideal self) used as mediating variable, family processes reduce counterproductive behaviors by mediating real self and ought self. In this way that communication skill, decision making, problem solving and religious beliefes have a negative effect on counterproductive behaviors by increasing real self. Also, decision making, problem solving and religious beliefs have negative effect on counterproductive behaviors by increasing real self. The results indicated the family processes help the members to get more real information about themselves and to be aware of how they should be. As a result, according to their capabilities and social musts, their counterproductive academic behaviors are reduced

the goal of this study was to evaluate the Comparison of the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and quality of life therapy on depression in adolescents. The present study is applied in terms of experimental method in the form of a pre-test design, post-test with the control group and interventio. The research instruments included Beck Depression (1996- BDI-II). For this purpose, 30 students who scored above 20 in the Beck depression test were randomly selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. Then, the cognitive behavioral test groups received therapeutic interventions in 8 sessions and the quality of life therapy group in 10 sessions. The data were analyzed using the statistical method of analysis of covariance. The findings show that depression has decreased significantly in both experimental groups, but in terms of preference, the superiority of a particular treatment over another was not seen in this study, which means it cannot be said which one is more effective. According to the findings of this research, it can be said that cognitive behavioral therapy and therapy based on quality of life are useful as effective intervention methods to reduce depression and increase quality of life.

The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship between parent-child relationship and quality of relationship with parents with identity crisis in adolescent girls of Isfahan city, taking into account mediating role of interpersonal problems, differentiation and self-esteem. The method was descriptive research of correlational type and statistical population included all teenage female students of Isfahan city, from which 300 people were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling method. After removing incomplete questionnaires, analysis was done on 254 questionnaires. Data were collected through questionnaires on identity crisis, parent-child relationships, and quality of relationships with parents, self-esteem, interpersonal problems, and differentiation. Descriptive indices and structural equation analysis were used to analyze data. The results showed that quality of relationship with parents and parent-child relationship is directly and indirectly related to identity crisis through self-esteem (p<0/05), but quality of relationship with parents and parent-child relationship has no significant relationship with identity crisis through interpersonal problems and differentiation (p>0/05). Findings of present study showed that in order to prevent identity crisis in teenagers, it is necessary to emphasize importance of improving self-esteem in them, especially through parent training in order to improve quality of relationship with parents and parent-child relationship.
