Mindful Parenting is a new application of mindfulness which aims to improve parenting through promoting the quality of parental attention and emotional awareness. Parent Management Training also focuses on the quality of parent-child relationship and involves learning new skills in order to modify children's behavior. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of mindful parenting and parent management training integrative program and parent management training program on psychological wellbeing and happiness of children. The research method was experimental including pretest-posttest with a control group design. The study population included all children in fourth to sixth grade in District 8 of Qom city in 96-95 school year, accompanied by their mothers. The sample included 41 children from fourth to sixth grade accompanied by their mothers that were selected by convenient sampling and assigned in experimental and control groups by random sampling. Research tools used on mothers included the mindful parenting and parent management training integrative program, 4-item happiness questionnaire and interpersonal mindfulness in parenting. Circular Mood and psychological wellbeing scale were the tools that were used on children. Participants completed the research tools in three phases of pretest, posttest and follow up. One group received mindful parenting and parent management training integrative program, while another group received only parent management training in 8 sessions, each 2 hours per week at a meeting. Mixed analysis of variance showed that the integrative program was more effective than parent management training in psychological wellbeing (F=7/57/ P<0/01) and these changes remained constant in follow up phase. There were no any differences between the two groups in happiness. Higher efficacy of integrative program in psychological wellbeing can be dependent upon application of mindful parenting principals. It seems that mindful parenting causes enrichment in parent- child relationship and consequently increases psychological well-being in children through mechanisms such as listening with full attention, accepting without judgment, compassion, self-regulation and emotional consciousness.

Schema therapy in 20 individual 60-minute sessions weekly for 2 sessions was administered and 1 month after the end of treatment, follow-up period followed. Finally, the data obtained using descriptive statistics, visual analysis charts with trend indicators, stability, percentage data unoverlapping (PND), and the percentage overlapping data (POD) were analyzed. The results showed that schema mode therapy on the increasing of the explicit self-esteem in narcissistic personality disorder was not effective, but on their implicit self-esteem was effective. According to the results, schema therapy on improving and increasing of the explicit self-esteem in narcissistic personality disorder is efficient and effective, and can be used in the treatment of symptoms that they are due to low implicit self-esteem in narcissism patients.

Stress is among the important factors of beginning and continuing addiction. The aim of this research was to anticipate the perceived stress on the basis of emotional regulation, experiential avoidance and anxiety sensitivity. The present research is of correlation kind which falls under the explanatory projects category. Research population consisted of all of the individuals that were addicted to drugs, and who used the services of addiction treatment centers of Tehran in 1394. From among the research population 220 individuals were selected by convenience sampling method, and then filled out the questionnaires which were related to the research. Evaluation tools were emotion regulation (Gras and John, 2003), experiential avoidance (Bond et al, 2007) and anxiety avoidance (Rees et al, 1986). Regression analysis results showed that repression, experiential avoidance and anxiety sensitivity components anticipates the perceived stress in addicted individuals significantly and positively and the reevaluation component predicted it negatively and significant. Findings of the present research pointing out to the fact that psychological structures including emotional regulation, experiential avoidance and anxiety sensitivity, have important role in the perceived stress of the individuals who are addicted to drugs. Thus, in creating a psychotherapeutic basis for people who are addicted to drug, this factor should be taken into consideration.
