The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of ISTDP and EFT therapies on marital adjustment of married women with experience of complex childhood trauma. The study population consisted of married women with a history of complex childhood trauma and distressing marital relationships in Shahrekord in 1400. sampling was done by call and voluntarily. After reviewing the inclusion criteria, finally, six people were selected and randomly assigned to ISTDP and EFT treatments. After implementation, the approaches were compared. Research data were analyzed by a single case method. The results of visual analysis between the intervention and baseline positions including PND, mean and mean changes, relative and absolute level changes, showed the effectiveness of both treatments on marital adjustment. Mean and average changes for ISTDP and EFT therapies indicated the effectiveness of both approaches on increasing marital adjustment in the middle and end of treatment sessions. Relative level changes for both treatments also indicated an increase in marital adjustment in the early stages of treatment. Results for absolute changes for ISTDP and EFT therapies indicated that both treatments were able to lead to immediate changes in marital adjustment scores. The percentage of overlapping for both treatments indicated the high effectiveness of these two treatments for marital adjustment. Considering the values obtained from the average changes, mean, level changes, and percentage index of overlapping data, the results show that EFT treatment was more effective than ISTDP treatment in increasing marital adjustment.

The sample includes 120 couples in Isfahan in 2017 that passed at least 5 years of their marriage. These individuals were selected from couples who live in six regions of Isfahan by a clustering method, and the sample was divided into three groups as follows: 1 - Male educational level is higher than that of female (40), 2 - Female educational level is higher than that of male (40), and 3 - Female and male have the same level of education (40). To collect data, the Revised Martial Adjustment Questionnaire (RDAS), Measurement of Marital Function Questionnaire and Short Neo-Form Questionnaire (60 items) were used. Data were collected to compare marital function and martial adjustment of couples with different compositions of educational levels by SPSS statistical software. The results of covariance (ANCOVA) and multivariate analysis of variance (MANCOVA) showed that the level of martial adjustment and some of the components of marital function in couples, differs with different compositions educational levels. Based on the findings of this study, martial adjustment is more ideal for couples in which male educational level is higher than that of women. There is also no difference in the martial function of couples with different levels of education, but in terms of emotional expression, communication, economics and financial affairs, couples with an equal educational level are in a more ideal situation.
