The statistical population of this research comprised all high school students with their mothers in first grade in academic year 1393-1394 in Baharestan District of Tehran Province, where were studying together with their mothers. The present research subjects were 24 students with their mothers selected through cluster sampling method and interview. The measurement used in this study was questionnaire of parent-child conflicts of Murray Straus (2002) (mother and child forms).The mothers in the experimental group got mindfulness training for eight 120-minute sessions and a session per week, then, pre-post and follow up tests were carried out. Data were analyzed through MANOVA and ANOVA. The results showed that mindfulness training to the mothers improves parent-child relationships and its dimensions (increasing the reasoning skills of parent-child and decreasing their verbal aggression and physical aggression) between mothers and sons (p<0/05). Based on the findings of the study, we suggest the counselors and psychologists to use mindfulness training to improve parent-child relationship.

The aim of the present study was to analyze emotional and familial situations of injured victims of the chemical air attack on city of Sardasht. The study employed a qualitative (interpretive) design and the statistical population included all injured victims of Sardasht chemical air attack. The sample consisted of 15 men and 15 women, chosen through convenient sampling. Semi-structured interviews were used for examining the sample population’s emotional and familial situation. Data were analyzed using categorizing and coding. Results suggested that the following complaints were common among the majority of the population: inability in communicating with others, inability in expressing emotions, changes in mood, humiliation, irritability, horrible nightmares, emotional dependence, lack of close relationships among family members, family fights, dissatisfaction with spouse, dissatisfaction with one’s parental role, and failed relationships with one’s children. The study suggests that the chemical air attack has widely incurred numerous emotional and familial problems on the injured victims, who are in urgent need of supportive interventions offered by people and the government.

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.

This qualitative research addresses the evolution of the concept of self from the perspective of Transcendental Philosophy and Post-Modern Psychology with the aim of clarifying their approach towards the human psychopathology.
The research sample covered all the available reference books on Transcendental Philosophy and Post-Modern Psychology, and the extracted information was recorded on more than 1000 note cards. The content analysis method was employed to extract the key concepts of self and human psychopathology which were later arranged in two separate tables and approved by three experts in the field. The key concepts were also compared and contrasted using the hermeneutic method; they were classified as the perspectives of Mulla Sadra and Post-Modern Psychology, and a third perspective, formulated by the researcher, was clarified on their basis.
The results indicated that while the two perspectives share some common ground on the evolution of the concept of self and the human psychopathology, they show substantial differences in the manner the concept of self is evolved, the causes of disease and their types and treatments. Having blended the earlier approaches, the researcher finally presented her own perspective.
