The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of emotion-oriented therapy and self-compassion training in resilience and psycho-physical vulnerability of mothers with children with reading and writing learning disorders. It was a semi-experimental research design of pre-test-post-test type with control and follow-up groups. The statistical population of the research was made up of all the mothers of children with learning disabilities who referred to the Clinic of Education in Mallard city in the academic year of 2020-2021. 45 people were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group using available sampling method. The research tools were Connor and Davidson's resilience questionnaire (2003) and Dragotis et al.'s (1963) SCL-25 test. The results of the Bonferroni test showed that the difference between emotion-oriented therapy and self-compassion training is significant in the variables of resilience and psychological-physical vulnerability of mothers; This means that emotion-oriented therapy is more effective than teaching self-compassion on resilience and psycho-physical vulnerability. According to the obtained results, both approaches, especially emotion-oriented therapy, can be used to improve resilience and psychological-physical vulnerability of mothers with children with learning disabilities, and consequently increase their quality of life.

Results showed that both acceptance and commitment therapy and metacognitive therapy significantly reduced hopelessness of divorcing demanding couples (P≤0.01). Also, the comparison of the effectiveness of the two interventions showed that there was significant difference between the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy and metacognitive therapy on hopelessness of participants, and meta-cognitive therapy was more effective than acceptance and commitment therapy (P≤0.05). It can be concluded that meta-cognitive therapy (MCT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) can reduce the clients' hopelessness.

Statistical population was demanding couples of divorce referring to family court in 2018 in East Azerbaijan, Iran. Using a purposeful sampling method, 200 couples (400 participants) who met the inclusion criteria were selected. Research tools were questionnaire of Dennis & Vander Wal’s (1978) cognitive flexibility. Collected data were analysed using Structural Equation Modeling and path analysis. Finding showed that Changes of cognitive flexibility in Life Cycle of demanding couples of divorce is significant. The most cognitive flexibility related to stages of getting engagement and no child. cognitive flexibility decrease after entrancing first child and the least cognitive flexibility related to adolescence and again increase in empty nest (P<0.01). The results of research provide some evidence to suggest that there is a curvilinear relationship between cognitive flexibility of spouses and family Life Cycle.
