The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of acceptance & commitment-based treatment on distress tolerance and time perspective of the mothers with disabled child IQ in the Malayer city in 2020 Yer. The research was done with using an nonequivalent control group semi-experimental design. From this mothers with disabled child IQ, 30 individuals were selected as available sample and randomly singed into two groups of 15 as experimental and control group. Data were collected with using pre-test and post-test, Simons & Gahr distress tolerance scale (2005), and Zimbardo time perspective inventory (1999). The experimental group received treatment protocol of acceptance and commitment therapy in 8 sessions, but the control group did not receive any intervention. At the end of both groups post test was taken. Data analysis using independent t -test for differential scores showed that acceptance and commitment-based therapy had a significant positive effect on tolerance distress and time perspective(future) in mothers with a disabled child IQ at the significant level of 0.01. From this study it can be concluded that acceptance and commitment therapy has a positive effect on tolerance of distress and time perspective. Therefore are suggested to use acceptance and commitment therapy for mothers with disabled child IQ

This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on time perspective and emotional well-being among the individuals suffering from generalized anxiety disorder symptoms. The research method was semi-experimental with control and experimental groups conducted in pre-test and post-test phases. As many as 30 students suffering from generalized anxiety disorder symptom were selected by means of convenience sampling method. They were also randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. The experimental group received an eight- session intervention regarding mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, while the control group received no interventions at all. Before and after the interventions, data were gathered using Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (Zimbardo, 1999) along with subjective well-being (Keyes, Magyar-Moe, 2003). Afterwards, they were analyzed by means of covariance analysis. According to the findings, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of post-test scores for time perspective and emotional well-being. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy interventions have led to a-71% change in future vision perspectives, a-51% change in transcendent future, a-74% change in the present destiny, a-67% change in the optimistic present, a-67% change in the positive past and a-65% change in the negative past of the experiment subjects.(p<0/05). Likewise, compared to the subjects in the control group, the ones in experimental group exhibited higher scores in the emotional well-being post-test. (p,<0/05) .Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is effective in broadening time perspective as well as enhancing emotional well-being in individuals suffering from generalized anxiety disorder symptoms.
