Diabetes mellitus, like any other chronic and debilitating illness, causes the person with the disease, especially children and adolescents, to experience problems that affect all aspects of the daily life of the individual. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on insulin induced anxiety in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The research design was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with the control group and a follow-up stage of 1.5 months. The statistical population of the study included all children and adolescents aged 8 to 13 years with type 1 diabetes in Isfahan province. Twenty-five subjects was selected by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into experimental (10) and control (15) groups. The case group received cognitive-behavioral therapy during the eight sessions of 45 minutes, and the control group did not receive any specific treatment during this period. Elliott et al.'s (1987) Observational Scale of Behavioral Distress Questionnaire was completed by mothers of children and adolescents in three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. Data were analyzed using repeated measure analysis. A significant reduction of insulin-induced anxiety in the case group compared to the control group was observed in the post-test phase. (P <0.01). The results of follow-up also showed that the effect of treatment lasted over time. Therefore, Cognitive-behavioral therapy was considered an effective intervention in reducing insulin-induced anxiety in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. So, it is recommended that endocrinologists and diabetes associations include psychological interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, in the care program of children with diabetes.

All of patients assessed six times by 10-item dysfunctional beliefs & attitudes about sleep & metacognition questionnaires. Data were analyzing using interpretation of changes of variables in the graph, effect size and diagnostic recovery. Results: Adding metacognitive techniques to cognitive behavioral therapy could increases its efficacy. Effect sized of all interventions was proved that cognitive behavioral therapy with metacognitive techniques has the most effect size on dysfunctional metacognitions.

Postpartum anxiety and depression are harmful conditions that negatively affects not only mothers but also their infants. Therefore, this study aimed to determine and compare the effectiveness of psychological treatments in reducing the above-mentioned problems in mothers at risk. This is a randomized clinical trial with control group. After assessing 75 mothers who were admitted to infants' care unit, 45 mothers who had anxiety and depression levels above the cut-off point and conditions of participation in the design were identified and then randomly divided into three groups of 15, two intervention groups And a control group. For the first intervention group, the CBT program and the intervention group of the ACT program were administered in 8 sessions and the control group received the usual training. To determine the effect of the intervention program, a pre-test and post-test were conducted using the Zung anxiety test and Edinburgh post-partum depression test. The scores of intervention groups were significantly different in the post-test group compared to the control group in the anxiety and depression scale. The rate of depression and anxiety decreased after intervention, and the size of this decrease was higher in the ACT group. ACT treatment has a greater effect on the anxiety and depression of mothers than CBT treatment. According to the results, the use of the ACT approach and the need for nurses and doctors to cooperate with psychologists to intervene is necessary.

The present research aimed to review the development of third wave of psychotherapy with especial emphasize on schema therapy. Third wave of psychotherapy originally derived from Cognitive Behavioral psychotherapy. The first wave started with classic behaviorism approach and psychotherapy based on experimental behavior and learning studies. The second wave based on cognitive process and its role on pathogenesis and treatment of mental disorders. Third wave of psychotherapy synthesizes the two approaches integrating the eastern spiritual rituals, including meditation and transcendental techniques in relation to the traditional CBT. Proposed by Geoffrey Young and thought to be part of the third-wave therapy, schema therapy mostly lays stress on dealing with personality disorders, specifically those that have proven to be somewhat resistant to classic Cognitive Behavioral therapeutic techniques.

Participants of the study were 24 depressed students who randomly selected from clients of Tehran universities counseling centers. Participants randomly placed in two groups. After applying Beck depression inventory (BDI) for both groups, OICBT was used for one group and CBT used for other group. To fallow UP, 6 month later BDI was applied for both groups. Data was analyzed by covariance analysis.
Results indicated that after therapy CBT was better than OICBT but after six month there were no difference between two treatments.
Results of this research showed that in long time there is no difference between the effectiveness of GCBT and OICBT. So, it is recommended to use OICBT besides face to face therapies.
