Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the impact of divorced mothers' group training with integrative approach on their adjustment in Isfahan. The study was a semi-experimental design with pretest, posttest and control group. The statistic population comprised divorced women who were covered by Isfahan Welfare Organization in 2010. First of all, one of the Welfare Centers was randomly selected from among eight centers. The sample was 20 divorced women who had volunteered to take place in training sessions. They were randomly placed into experimental and control groups. A pretest session was next held for the experimental and control groups, in which mothers were asked to answer the demographic form and the questionnaire of Fisher's Divorce Adjustment Scale (FDAS). In the mothers' group 8 sessions were held (1/5 hours two times a week) with an integrative approach. Both experimental and control groups filled out the questionnaires as posttest after the training sessions. Data was analyzed using covariance analysis. The results indicated that divorced mothers' group training with an integrative approach had a significant impact on mothers’ adjustment and its subscales (feeling of self-worth, disentanglement, anger, grief, social trust, and social self-worth)
