This research has been done to determine the effects of short term group therapy based on the predictive model of social anxiety and compare it with Hofmann's cognitive-behavioral group therapy on social anxiety symptoms in junior high school students. For screening, 210 students who were selected by cluster random sampling completed the LaGreca Social Anxiety Questionnaire. Thirty of them, whose scores were the highest on the LaGreca Social Anxiety Questionnaire, were selected and randomly assigned to three groups (model-based social anxiety group, Hoffman cognitive-behavioral social anxiety group, and control group). Experimental intervention was performed for group 1 (model-based therapy) and group 2 (Hoffman's cognitive-behavioral therapy). Group 3 (control) received no intervention. After six, 90minute, sessions of intervention for groups 1 and 2, all three groups completed the LaGreca Social Anxiety Questionnaire. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control group (P = 0.000). But no significant difference was found between experimental groups in decreasing social anxiety symptoms (p = 0.356). According to the findings of the study, model-based social anxiety group therapy was effective in reducing the symptoms of social anxiety. There was also no difference between the two experimental groups in reducing the symptoms of social anxiety.

Abstractcognitive-behavioral therapy and neurofeedback are used as a treatment technique for disease and disorders. The present study aimed to compare effectiveness of these two techniques in women with major depression from Tehran. This study was a semi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and control group. The study was conducted on women referring four counseling clinics in Tehran during summer and autumn of 1397, and based on psychiatrists interviews and DSM 5 criteria, had major depression disorder. Subjects took part in this study voluntarily and their replacement in two groups of neurofeedback method and cognitive-behavioral therapy was done randomly using random numbers. Participants were in three groups: group of neurofeedback treatment (15 patients), cognitive therapy protocol group (15 patients), and control group (15 patients) who didn’t receive treatment interventions. Lovibond and Lovibond depression anxiety stress scale (DASS) questionnaire was used for data collection. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, variance analysis and dependent T test. After intervention in cognitive-behavioral group, the mean score for cognitive-behavioral treatment group had 26 reduction (recovery of patients). While scores in neurofeedback grouphad 22 grades reduction (recovery of patients). Neurofeedback is an effective therapeutic option for reducing depression in treatment center. Therefore, psychologists can use neurofeedback treatment for reducing depression. Keywords: cognitive-behavioral therapy, neurofeedback, major depression, adult women

Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders so choosing an appropriate therapy is very important. Regarding to the role of spirituality in depression and its therapeutic methods, this research attempts to compare the role of the level of Psycho-spiritual development of individuals in the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. For this purpose, among the students of Tarbiat Modares University, 8 subjects with basic depression were selected using available sampling method, and then based on their scores in Psycho-Spiritual Scale (Janbozorgi, 1391), they were divided into two groups of 4 with high Psycho-spiritual development and 4 with low Psycho-spiritual development. Then subjects of each level of Psycho-spiritual development were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy). Depression scores of patients before, during and after treatment, as well as follow up, were compared with the percentage of recovery and the effect size. The results showed that both treatments, acceptance and commitment and cognitive-behavioral therapy, were effective on decreasing depression, but acceptance and commitment therapy was more effective in decreasing the depression of individuals with low Psycho-spiritual development, and cognitive-behavioral therapy was more effective in Reducing people's depression with higher levels of Psycho-spiritual development. Therefore, it seems that paying attention to the level of Psycho-spiritual development of clients in choosing a therapeutic approach is of great importance.

The study aimed to make a comparison between effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based therapy in improving quality of life of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The study followed a quasi-experimental design with three groups a pre-test and a final test. Group sizes were decided considering the fact that the study was a pilot project and that some subjects might discontinue their participation. Thus, 36 patients (20 males and 16 females) with IBS (diagnosed using Rome III process) were chosen using convenient sampling and then randomly divided into two study and one control groups (each with 12 patients). The IBS-QOL34 questionnaire was administered in the three groups as the pre-test. The questionnaire was administered as the post-test in the three groups two months later. All results were analyzed using statistical methods. After results of the control group and influence of the pretest were omitted, ANCOVA showed that there was a significant difference between effects of the two therapy methods (p <0/05). The LSD post-hoc test also showed a significant difference between effectiveness of the mindfulness-based therapy compared to that of the cognitive-behavioral therapy (p <0/05). It can be suggested based on the basis of the results that the new method of psychotherapy in treating patients with IBS should be considered, because the old therapy is not always effective or even promising. and it can thus be used as a new treatment method for individuals with aviophobia.

The study aimed to examine effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in combination with stress reduction based on mindfulness in reducing anxiety and automatic thoughts and improving general health of a patient with generalized anxiety disorder. The study used a singlesubject A-B design to determine the mixed effects of the interventions on the subject. The subject completed Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (ATQ) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) in both phase A (baseline) and phase B (last treatment session). The patient’s BAI score decreased from 45 in stage A to 30 in the fifth session, 16 in the tenth session and 10 in the final phase. Results from HARS, ATQ and GHQ also indicated significant decreases in the patient’s scores. The study suggests that a mixed intervention consisting of a cognitive-behavioral therapy combined with mindfulness-based stress reduction can have positive effects on treating generalized anxiety disorder.

This semi-experimental research is an attempt to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and spiritual-religious psychotherapy on reducing the covert anxiety level of male students residing in dormitory of Allameh Tabataba'i University. Using Cattels Anxiety Scale Questionnaire, 45 students with covert anxiety were randomly placed in three groups (cognitive-behavioral therapy, spiritual-religious psychotherapy and control). Members of the first two groups collectively received therapy for two hours each week (12 sessions). At the end of the therapeutic intervention, all of the three groups were assessed again. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Result showed no significant difference between the two therapeutic methods in reducing the anxiety level while both of them were significantly effective in reducing the students' level of covert anxiety.
