This study investigates the role of resiliency, spirituality and religiosity in predicting life satisfaction among the elderly of Baharestan city and also the weight of each of the predictor variables. In this descriptive- correlational research, 280 aged people in Baharestan city are selected based on a multi-stage cluster sampling. For data collections, questionnaires including Connor-Davidson (CD-RIS) resiliency questionnaire, spirituality / religiosity questionnaire by the United States National Institutes of Health, Diener’s Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and demographic features questionnaire are used. For data analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient and regression equation coefficients are used. Results show that there is a relationship between resiliency, spirituality and religion and life satisfaction. The regression equation coefficients shows that variables including resiliency, spirituality and religiosity are significantly able to predict life satisfaction (p<0/001). The low variance inflation factor (VIF) indicates that the predictor variables are not in-line. The resiliency is one predictor variables of life satisfaction, but it can be a strong predictor variable with the help of spirituality and religion.

Schema theory is developed for patients with chronic psychological problems who have not achieved significant success in cognitive therapy. Although this approach has been applied mostly to personality disorders, it can also be a useful treatment for depression disorder. Therefore, the aim of this study is to show whether or not schema therapy is effective in the treatment of recurrent major depressive symptoms. This single-case experimental study is carried out with the method of multiple baseline on six patients who are all diagnosed with primarily a DSM-IV recurrent depression disorder. Patients are tested in four points in time; pre- treatment, in the 4th session, the 8th session, and the 12th session (post- treatment). Instruments used are Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Short Form of Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ) and Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorder (SCID-I). The findings show that schema therapy plays a role in improving the symptoms of recurrent depression disorder and early maladaptive schema during the treatment. The results of the present study indicate that schema therapy could be effective in treating recurrent depression disorder. Thus, by identifying depressive schemas, they can be treated and reformed with interventions focused on the schema.

The purpose of the present research was to examine the effect of existential group counseling and cognitive-behavioral therapy on anger management in students. In this pre-post test experimental study, the statistical population consisted of all (367) high school students in the Baruq city high school students. Two schools were selected as sample by cluster sampling. Conducting the Sigel Questionnaire (1986), 30 students were selected and assigned to three groups randomly. For one group, eight sessions of existential group counseling and for another, eight sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy were carried out. The control group received no intervention and MANCOVA and Post hoc Scheffe Test were applied to analyze the data. The MANCOVA showed that there is significant difference between two experimental (existential and cognitive-behavior therapy) groups and the control group. Except external anger, there is significant difference between existential and cognitive- behavior group counseling and the control group in all components of angry situations. However, there is not any significant difference between two experimental groups. Therefore, both existential and cognitive- behavior group counseling decrease the level of anger in students.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy in mental health and prevention of relapse in drug-dependent people. In this quasi-experimental study, 112 individuals who have started Methadone treatment in the two Drug-Abuse Treatment Centers in Tehran are divided into an experimental (56 subjects) and a control (56 subjects) group. The experimental group undergoes 12 90-minute sessions of cognitive-behavioral group therapy and the control group does not receive any particular treatment. All participants complete the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and undergo urine tests for morphine at the beginning of the study, at the end of the cognitive-behavioral group therapy and two months after the completion of treatment. The data are analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ2, Post hoc test and multiple analysis of variance. The MANOVA data analysis shows a significant difference between the two groups regarding the mental health in the post-test stage (p<0. 001). χ2 test results indicate significant difference in the rate of relapse in the two groups (p<0.001). As a result, cognitive behavioral group therapy is effective in the improvement of general health and prevention of relapse in drug- dependent individuals.

The aim of this investigation is to compare the effectiveness of three treatments including diet, diet with exercise and diet with cognitive behavioral therapy on weight loss and improved life satisfaction in male employees with obesity and overweight in National Iranian Drilling Company. The statistical population consists of the National Iranian Drilling Company employees who are overweight or obese. Of the 235 volunteers, 60 are selected to participate in the study and randomly divided into three groups, each consisting of 20 people. This study is a quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up design. Weight and life satisfaction of subjects are examined by electronic weight scale and Diener’s Satisfaction with Life Scale three times. In order to analyze the data, covariance analysis and Repeated-measures test are administered using SPSS-19. The results show that using diet with exercise and diet with cognitive behavioral therapy methods leads to a significant weight loss while diet therapy alone does not decrease the weight significantly. Diet with cognitive behavioral therapy is more effective in weight loss than diet with exercise. Other results show that the treatment by diet with cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in increasing the life satisfaction. It can therefore be concluded that not only does diet with cognitive behavioral therapy cause weight loss like diet with exercise, it also enhances the life satisfaction in individuals.

In recent years, experts have been seeking to evaluate and compare the validity and efficiency of psychological interventions and medical treatment in migraine and tension headaches. In this regard, meta-analysis determines the effect of the type of treatment by unifying the results gained from different studies. The present research aims at examining the effectiveness of the said two types of treatments on reducing the symptoms of migraine and tension headaches using meta-analysis research pattern. For this purpose, 21 studies out of 45 studies acceptable in terms of methodology are selected and meta-analysis was conducted on them. The research instrument is the meta-analysis checklist. The findings show that the effect size of psychological intervention on decreasing the symptoms of migraine and tension headaches is 0.64 (p≤0.01). The effect size of medical treatment turns out to be 0.33 (p≤0.01). It can therefore be concluded that the effect size of psychological intervention is large and that of the medical treatment is medium according to Cohen’s effect size table.
