Abstract
The main aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy on distress tolerance, irrational beliefs, and anger rumination in patients with scientific obsessive-compulsive disorder. In this quasi-experimental study, the statistical population included all patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder in Tehran who referred to psychology and counseling centers in 2022. Among those who met the inclusion criteria, 30 people were selected by convenience sampling to participate in the study. These people were randomly divided into two groups of 15 people. Those who were placed in the intervention group underwent dialectical behavior therapy intervention in 10 2-hour sessions. In this study, the questionnaires of Distress Tolerance by Simmons and Gaher (2005), Irrational Beliefs and Anger Rumination by Sakodolski et al. (2001), and Practical Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder by Padua (1988) were used. The data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of covariance in SPSS software. The results showed that the two intervention and control groups had significant differences in distress tolerance, irrational beliefs, and anger rumination at pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that dialectical behavior therapy is effective in improving distress tolerance, irrational beliefs, and anger rumination in patients with scientific obsessive-compulsive disorder. Therefore, dialectical behavior therapy can be used to improve patients with practical obsessive-compulsive disorder.
