Addiction can cause many problems for the addict and his family, so that the addict's family suffer from more problems. The aim of current research was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness training on emotion regulation and quality of life of addict’s Wife. The research method is semi-experimental and the pretest- posttest design with control group was used. Population in this study consisted the addicts’ wife referring to the Addiction Treatment Centers of Rasht city in 2014. 20 ones were selected based on available sampling method and were assigned using random sampling method in two experimental and control groups (10 ones per group). The experimental group participated in 8 sessions of mindfulness training and control group received no intervention. The emotion regulation scale and quality of life questionnaire were used for data collection. The gathered data were analyzed by Spss version 18 using analysis of covariance. The results show that there exist significant differences between post-test scores of the experimental and control group and mindfulness training could significantly increase emotion regulation and quality of life of addict’s wife (P>0.01). Thus interventions based on this approach lead to increasing emotion wellbeing and quality of life of these women.
