The rate of personality disorders among drug users is estimated to be up to 50%. Co-occurrence of personality disorders among drug users can potentially lead to increased symptom severity, resistance to treatment, and increased risk of relapse. Using the systematic review method, the efficacy of the dual focus schema therapy (DFST) in the treatment of substance use disorders with personality disorders was investigated. Using two databases, ScienceDirect and noormags, five eligible articles were reviewed that evaluated the efficacy of dual focus schema therapy (DFST) using case study and randomized controlled trial (RCT). The results showed that despite the positive and promising therapeutic results in two case studies, three RCT studies showed the least useful results for the efficacy of dual focus schema therapy (DFST) and that of dual focus schema therapy (DFST) is not a more effective option compared to other forms of intervention, and more accurate evaluation requires further RCTs.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of attachment-based treatment on family function of mothers with insecure attachment style. This research was a semi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design and included control and study groups. By purposeful sampling method, 24 mothers of boy students in grades 3 and 4 in elementary schools of Najafabad city were selected and randomly assigned to control and study group (12 subjects in each group). Family Assessment Devise (FAD) and Revised Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS) were used for data collection. In the study group, participants received attachment-based treatment 10 weekly two-hour sessions, while the control group received no treatment. FAD was completed by all the participants before and after the treatment program and one month after the study(at follow-up stage). Data were analyzed by multiple analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The findings of MANCOVA analysis showed a significant difference between scores (total score and scores of each subtest) of study and control groups after the study and at follow-up stage. In the other words, compared to the family function of control group at the posttest stage, family function of the study group was improved and this improvement was sustained 1 month after the study. Based on the results, we can conclude that attachmentbased treatment is influential in improving family function of femaleswith insecure attachment style.
