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.

The aim of the present study is to determine the dimensions of religious ontology in inner speech of religious couples with high marital adjustment. This was a qualitative study using semi-structured deep interview for 11 couples (11 wives and 11 husbands) with high marital adjustment. The couples were selected by purposeful sampling till data saturation was reached. Grounded theory was used to analyze the data obtained from interviews. Data analysis revealed that religious ontology helped religious couples consider their marital relationship as a holy bound established by God to reach certain goals. Religious ontology yielded positive marital consequences in three direct ways and in one indirect way. Direct ways of religious ontology in couples were belief in God’s presence and surveillance in marital life, observation of religious practices, and belief in God’s help in marital life. The indirect influence of the religious ontology for couples was following the practice and the style of marital life of holy prophet of Islam (PBUH) and the Fourteen Infallibles (AS). Through these processes, religious ontology leads to peace, satisfaction, faithfulness as well as financial and spiritual perfection. Findings also showed that religious ontology positively influences marital life and can be used to develop a model for improving marital satisfaction by changing the ontology styles of the couples.
