The aim of this research was to investigate the efficacy of Islamic multifaceted approach therapy on the health and life satisfaction of female students in Shahid Chamran University. The research method was semi experimental with a pre- posttest and control group. The sample consisted of 30 female students who were similar in age and educational status, acquiring one standard deviation bellow the mean in spiritual health and life satisfaction and other criteria considered in this research. They were randomly divided in to experimental and control groups. The instruments were Diner scale for life satisfaction and Palutzion and Ellison questionnaires for spiritual health. We administered 10 sessions of Islamic multifaceted approach therapy for the experimental group but the control group did not receive any treatment. The results revealed that there were significant differences between the experimental and control groups (p<0.001). The spiritual health and life satisfaction in the experimental group in comparison with the pretest and the control group significantly increased.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of detachment group therapy on the codependency and differentiation of self in women married to an addicted husband in Andimeshk. The research method was experimental with pre - posttest, follow- up and control group. The original sample consisted of 56 females with addicted spouses. 30 women married to addicts who acquired a score of above 40 in the Holyoake Codependency Index (HCI) had been randomly selected and randomly divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. The instruments were the Holyoake Codependency Index (HCI) and the Differentiation of Self Inventory (DSI). For the experimental group we used 12 sessions of detachment group therapy but the control group didn’t receive any intervention. We used the MANCOVA to analyze the data. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and the control group in the codependency and differentiation of self (p<0.05). Also, the rate of codependency decreased but the differentiation of self increased significantly in the experimental group in comparison with the pre-test and control group. These results persisted significantly in the 2 month follow- up period.
