The purpose of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of compassion-focused therapy on Depression and Rumination after a romantic breakup. The present study was carried out using the single-case quasi-experimental method and a simple baseline method. For this purpose, three female participants were selected through targeted sampling and they were treated through an individual Compassion-focused Therapy (CFT) during eight 90-min sessions. Participants completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and Rumination (RRS) questionnaires in the baseline stage (pre-treatment) during the second, fourth, sixth and eighth sessions, and in the one-month follow-up stage. Moreover, in the pre-treatment stage, the participants completed the Love Trauma Inventory (LTI) and the MMPI-2RF questionnaires to identify the severity of disturbance after breakup and to detect the serious disorder in axis, respectively. Then they were interviewed in order to identify their personality disorder. For data analysis, clinical significance method and the recovery percentage index were used. The results showed that compassion-focused therapy has a significant effect on the reduction of Depression and mental Rumination. The percentage of non-overlap data (PND) on the Depression Scale was 100 for the first and second participants and 75 for the third participant; it was 100 on the rumination scale for all three participants. The rate of recovery of depression in the first, second, third participant was 65%, 72%, 25%, the rumination rate in the first, second, third participant was 47%, 42%, 33%, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that people who experienced a breakup after a compassion-focused therapy look at themselves with a new and compassionate look at their own.

Interpersonal transgressions and suffering have an important role in the formation and persistence of psychological disorders. This study evaluates the effect of forgiveness group therapy on the symptoms of depression and rumination of dysthymic women according to the findings about the relationship between forgiveness of interpersonal transgressions in the past and reduction of depression symptoms. This research was a quasi-experimental study with a sample of 16 women. Subjects were selected from samples available in a psychiatric clinic. Subject selection was based on the entry criteria and psychiatric diagnosis. Patients were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. In experimental group, the treatment based on forgiveness was held in 6 ninety-minute sessions (once a week). The control group did not receive the intervention. The research data were collected by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) questionnaire, Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Scale (TRIM-12) and Rumination about an Interpersonal Offense Scale (RIO).Covariance analysis was used to analyze data of this study. Evaluations after treatment showed that, forgiveness group therapy was significantly effective (alpha <0.05) in reducing depression symptom and rumination in dysthymic women. It is concluded from the findings of this study that forgiveness group therapy can benefit for reducing depression symptom and rumination.

Meta-cognitive therapy is an emerging treatment of supposedly effective component of psychopathology that reduces rumination. The present study is an attempt to consider effectiveness of this therapy to improve suicidal ideation at depressive patient.This research performed as quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. Among patients with depression referred to a psychiatric clinic in Tabriz, 30 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: intervention and control. Data collected with Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation. We used pair T-test for comparing mean scale in two groups. Significant level in this study was 0.05.Mean score of beck scale in pretest and post-test were 18.8±3.8 and 18.4±2.5 in control group and 18.5±4.4 and 14.7±2.2 in experimental group.The results showed that meta-cognitive therapy has a significant impact onimproving suicidal ideation at depressive patient (p=0.0001).The results show that meta-cognitive therapy focusing on rumination can be effective on treating suicidal ideation at depressive patient.

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.

Research suggests that depression, anxiety and rumination disorders are among the most important psychological problems inpatients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) has been found effective in reducing anxiety and depression symptoms, but little research has studied patients with autism. The present study therefore aimed at examining effects of a modified MBT protocol (MBT-AS) in high-functioning adults with ASD. A group of 42 autistic individuals, chosen through convenient sampling and aging from 15 to 26, were divided into an experimental (20 individuals) and a control (21 individuals) group. The experimental group received a treatment protocol based on mindfulness (Teasedale et al.; revised edition). Data analysis was carried out using t-test in independent groups, chi-square test and multivariate variance analysis. Results showed a significant decreasein depression, anxiety and rumination in the experimental group. Results also showed that positive affect increased in the experimentalgroup but not in the control group. The present study is the first controlled trial for demonstrating that adults with ASD can benefit from MBT-AS

Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) is a new and emerging approach that focuses on reducing unhelpful cognitive processes and facilitating metacognitive styles of processing. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of metacognitive therapy on improving of metacognitive beliefs, rumination, and depression symptoms of major depressive patient.
In a single case experiment with multiple baseline design a woman suffering from MDD were treated with eighth weekly sessions of MCT and antidepressant medications. Second woman with the same diagnostic a control case only received antidepressant medications. Instruments used in this research were included MDD-S, Metacognitive beliefs, (MCQ), Ruminative style (RRS), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II).
Results indicated that metacognitive treatment result in improvement of subject's scores in Beck depression scale that reduced from 35 to 6 in posttest and 2 months follow up. The scores of scales of CAS and MDD-S showed remarkable reduction. But the control case who recived only antidepressant medications didn't show any significant changes in decrease of symptoms in follow up.
