Methods This research was administered in three stages. First, a psycho-cognitive remediation treatment manual was developed based on the most reliable existing treatments: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT). In the second stage, the content validity of the manual was evaluated by 8 experts. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed treatment was evaluated by the quasi-experimental method with an active control group, pretest-posttest follow-up design. 28 adults aged 24-45 years who had been diagnosed with MDD were purposefully selected and assigned to one of the two experimental or control groups. The experimental group participated in 12 two-hour weekly sessions and the control group played video games at home. The Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) and the THINC-it tools as neuropsychological tests were used for gathering data. Only 25 patients remained in the study at week 12. To statistically analyze the data, One-way analysis of covariance was used (SPSS 26).Results Data analysis showed that depression and anhedonia were significantly lower at the post-test compared to the pre-test, according to the BDI-II and SHAPS scores. All objective and subjective cognitive functions were significantly improved. Follow-up scores remained significantly constant in the tests that had improved in the post-test which indicates the stability of therapeutic effects in the three-month follow-up.Conclusion This is the first study to evaluate two validated combined therapies in adults with MDD, as far as the authors are aware. It was evaluated based on feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness. It is suggested that clinicians use these combined treatments in the field of clinical practice. Although this treatment manual had a good effect, some of its limitations must be addressed in future research.

Job is one of the most important issues in the discussion of human resources, and since the discussion of job stress in the flight crew and its relationship with the performance of the flight crew is very important and vital. This research is about recognizing and developing a model for job stress among the cabin crew of Mahan Airline. The qualitative research methodology has been followed by qualitative inductive approach and grounded theory, that is the common approach in this case. The population of this research has two sections; the first section includes the new related scientific documents from 10 to 20 texts that are collected by using targeted approach until achieving domination criteria. Inductive qualitative content analysis method was applied for analyzing the specialized texts that are related to the research. The second population contains the whole flight crew of Mahan Airline Company. The research sample is chosen by using targeted and snowball method and by 37 items has been reached to theoretical saturation. The data are gathered by Semi-structured approach and they are analyzed by Straws & Corbin(1998) systematic analysis method. A total of 260 opening codes and 19 axial codes were extracted, which were categorized into 5 selected codes. as a result the job stress model of Mahan Airline flight crew is established and then is validated by focus group. The results show that the established pattern for job stress has five main aspects including the job stress nature, appearing job stress, the sources and conditions of job stress, reaction to job stress and consequences of job stress, and there is connection among them.

The present study is aimed at dealing with stress management strategies and impulsivity in opiate abusers, sedative and stimulus is conducted. In the study, a causal-comparative method was adopted. Research participants included 180 drug users inhabiting the already determined addiction centers in Shiraz. They were selected using Available random sampling. To collect the data, stress management strategies and impulsivity scales were employed, and to analyze the results, descriptive statistical methods and variance analysis were used. The results indicated that abuse stimulating consumers significantly more than consumers emotion-centered use of opioids and moderator of coping strategies virgin (0.007), but abusers response-moderator (0.26) and opioids - moderator (0.43) were not significantly different. As well as the construction abusers significantly greater impulsivity as compared to the stimulus (0.012) and opioids (0.005) showed, but stimulants and opioids two groups had no significant differences in impulsivity variables (0.94). It can be said that the research is based on the type of substance, in terms of coping with stress and control of their impulsivity, of consumers stimulants other than using virgin materials more negatively of coping with stress and drug abuse-moderator of impulsivity than other people are experiencing abuse.

Stigma is a major stressor for many families of psychiatric patients. It is unclear, however, why some families appraised stigma as more stressful, while others feel they can cope with it. The aim of this research was to investigate the role of perceived stigma, cognitive appraisal and rejection sensitivity on shame. A group of 150 families of patients were selected through convenient sampling method. A series of statistical analysis including Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis was used to study the relationship between the variables. According to the results of the research, there is a relationship between perceived stigma with other variables, but there is no significant relationship between cognitive appraisal with rejection sensitivity and rejection sensitivity with internal shame. According to the model extracted from regression analysis, 23 percent of the variance of internal shame can be accounted for by perceived stigma and cognitive appraisal and 23 percent of the variance of external shame can be accounted for by perceived stigma and rejection sensitivity. Negative attribution towards mental disorders lead to internal shame and rejection sensitivity with considering others as a source of threat lead people to external shame.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and God image. To do so, 125 students of Shiraz University were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. The instruments used in this study consisted of the Young Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire —Short Form (SQ-SF) and Lawrence’s God Image Scale (GIS) (Lawrence, 1997; Sadeghi, 1384).Results showed that there was no significant relationship between early maladaptive schemas and image of God. Despite the lack of significant correlation between total scores of maladaptive schemas and image of God, there was a negative and significant relationship between social isolation, compliance and strict standards schemas with God image. Other maladaptive schemas did not show significant relationship with God image. These results indicate that those who think God is very controlling have negative emotional responses to God. That is, someone who feels that they are powerless and dependent and nothing is under their control shapes a negative image of God.

The aim of this study was to examine effectiveness of Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on depression and rumination symptoms in individuals with a major depression records. The study employed a single-case design with multiple baselines. MBCT was given to 4 patients with major depressive disorder over eight 1-hour sessions, and a follow-up was carried out one month later. Instruments used were the depression questionnaire, Beck depression inventory and the rumination response scale. Results showed that depression and rumination symptoms in the patients were reduced by 78 and 48 percent, respectively. The results were clinically significant for three patients. The study suggests that MBCT given in the form of individualized sessions can be an effective treatment for patients with major depressive disorder.

Although various psychological methods exist for treating symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), meta-analyses show that many patients suffering from the disorder still show no or little response to treatments. The present study therefore aimed to provide an answer to the question, ‘Does schema therapy have an effect on reducing symptoms of trauma recurrence in wounded in actions with PTSD?’, and to evaluate effectiveness of the new therapy method on treating chronic symptoms which were resistant to other psychological therapies. The study used a single-case empirical design with multiple baselines. Scales used were Young Schema Questionnaire (short from), Young Compensation Inventory, YoungRygh Avoidance Inventory, Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, and Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale. The statistical society included wounded in actions with chronic PTSD symptoms, of which 3 were chosen for the study using purposeful convenient sampling. The treatment consisted of 21 sessions for each subject with a two-month follow-up. The data were analyzed using various statistical methods, including mean, coefficient of variation, Z-test, and clinical cure rate.Findings indicated that schema therapy was successful in reducing symptoms of recurrent PTSD and in decreasing activity of maladaptive schemas. Moreover, the results sustained in the follow-up phase.
