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 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.
