The prevalence of grief disorder syndrome has been one of the consequences of the outbreak of Covid-19 virus. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy and mindfulness based cognitive therapy on grief syndrome in women with Covid-19 grief disorder. The method of the present study was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and two-month follow-up with a control group. From 25 to 45 years old women with grief disorder (caused by Covid-19) in Tehran in 2020-2021, 45 people were selected by voluntary sampling and randomly assigned to three groups (15 people in each group). The research instruments included Hogan grief reaction checklist (2001). One group received emotion-based therapy (10 sessions of one and a half hours) and one group received mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (9 sessions of one and a half hours). The control group was placed on a waiting list and did not receive any intervention during the study. To analyze the data, repeated measures analysis of variance was used using the assumptions. The results showed that both interventions were significantly more effective in all six components of grief syndrome compared to the control group and emotion-focused therapy was significantly more effective than cognitive therapy based on mindfulness syndrome (other than personal growth) (p<0/05). The results showed more efficiency of emotion-focused therapy compared to cognitive therapy based on Covid-19 grief syndrome in women.

In the current research the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on Mindfulness has been investigated on the reduction of posttraumatic stress symptoms and increasing the Autobiographical memory and quality of life in treated patients with breast cancer. The current research is a quasi experimental research with pretest-post-test and control group in a 60-day follow up.24 treated women with breast cancer were selected among the age of 25 to 55 who went to radiation and oncology department of Chamran , Baghiyatallah , Besat and surgery department of Eram clinic and were placed in two experimental and control groups.12 healthy women were also selected (without any history of illness) that were made homogenous in variables of age , level of education , marital status and occupation. SCID interview , autobiographical memory test (AMT),quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) and revised impact of events scale were carried out .The experimental group had been under MBCT training for eight 2-2.5- hour- sessions. Results were analyzed by the use of 18th copy of SPSS software. Applying covariance analysis indicated that MBCT training courses are effective in the reduction of posttraumatic stress symptoms and increase in the quality of life .Also considering the results obtained in follow up ,it can be said that this method can be effective in reduction and prevention of PTSD from getting worse and increasing the Autobiographical memory in treated patients with breast cancer. applying MBCT in medical centers can be considered as a rehabilitation treatment after treating and can play an important role in solving many physical and mental problems that lessens the quality of life
