Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy and the approach of marital amateur therapy on married women's resiliency. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design with control group. The statistical population of the present study included married women referred to counseling centers of Gorgan in 1397. In this research, random volunteer random sampling was used. After selecting the sample size and assigning them to the two experimental groups and one control group, the experimental groups received educational interventions in a three-month weekly, one 90-minute session. The questionnaires used in this study included Barati and Snyay Marital Conflict Questionnaire (1375) and resiliency Scale (Connor & Davidson, 2003). The collected data were analyzed by Covariance Analysis using SPSS23 software. The results of data analysis showed that acceptance and commitment therapy and empowerment therapy were effective on the resiliency of married women referring to counseling centers (p <0.001). Also, there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of treatment-based therapy based on acceptance and commitment and empowerment therapy on the marital support of married women referring to counseling centers (P> 0.05). Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that acceptance and commitment therapy and imaging therapy has similar effects on the resiliency of women with marital conflicts and these two methods can be used to improve the resiliency women.
