The importance of the structure of aptitude as a determining element in choosing life paths in general and educational and professional careers in particular has always been acknowledged by the researchers of the field. Amongst miscellaneous majors sub-classified under the educative and behavioral sciences, it seems that despite having a prominent and influential position in different areas especially educational and professional ones, and also enjoying a high level of scientific richness and meaningful content in terms of theorizing and producing new knowledge, Counseling has not explicitly addressed the subject matter of aptitude at sufficient length. The present qualitative research has made an attempt to delve into identification of aptitude by using two qualitative methods, i.e. synthetic analysis and theme analysis. To accomplish this goal, the technical texts in counselling were referred to so as to collect and record their views about the ways in which aptitude can be identified. The obtained data was then analyzed by seven-level Colaizzi’s method and drawing a network of themes was made possible. By drawing a network of themes, 29 counseling methods and techniques which could be used in aptitude identification precess were specified. The results of this research, which is regarded as basic research and a prerequisite, can be used effectively to take the next step towards devising a model and a domestic method for identification of aptitude in Iran. Keywords: identification of aptitude, talent, counseling methods

Sample selection and interview continued until data saturation. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. All interviews were recorded with the permission of the participants, then, for further analysis, the text of the interviews was carefully placed on the paper and after modifying the themes, they are were thoroughly analyzed and the categories are classified. Findings: Analysis of the findings from the semi-structured interview resulted in identifying four main categories: 1) Failure of the educational guidance process; 2) Testing problems; 3)Awareness; 4) The necessity of facilities for optimal implementation. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the research, it can be concluded that there is a long gap between the ministry's notification guidelines and the correct implementation of it, and the student's academic guidance failed to implement what was enacted in the regulation. Therefore, for the pathology of the process, the corrective opinions of the counselors and experts in this field should be received and the current process of academic guidance should reviewed and revised expertly in order to reach for the desired balancing in the document of fundamental transformation.

Also, the participants answered to thes questionnaire one day before the first session, as well as in the fourth, eighth and and twelfth intervention sessions and finally one month after the end of the sessions as follow up. The data were analyzed using graph analysis, improvement percentile rank and reliable change index. The findings showed that there were significant clinically and statistically improvement in The findings showed that there were significant clinically and statistically decrease in rumination of the participants after treatment.

The statistical population of the study consisted of all the elderly members of the municipality centers of Tehran municipality in 1396, of which 950 were selected by cluster sampling. Data was collected by Fordes Happiness Questionnaire, the unconditional acceptance of James and colleagues, Megaculov's appreciation, the psychological power of Ego Strom and colleagues, and the forgiveness of Ehshamzadeh et al. Then, using Pearson correlation and structural equation, the results were analyzed. The results of Pearson correlation test showed that the dependent variable of the research, forgiveness with all the variables of research has a significant relationship (p <0.05). For all these positive relationships, this means that increasing each of the independent variables (appreciation, acceptance, happiness and self-empowerment) leads to an increase in forgiveness.
