Transdiagnostic treatment is one of the new therapies that the effect of it on many psychological variables has been established. The purpose of the current study was to examine the effectiveness of Transdiagnostic treatment on anxiety sensitivity, distress tolerance and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The research method was experimental (pretest, posttest with control group). In this research, 30 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder randomly assigned to experimental (6 males and 9 female) and control (6 males and 9 female) groups Anxiety Sensitivity Scale (ASI-R), the Distress Tolerance Questionnaire (DTS) and The Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) were used for collecting the data. Transdiagnostic treatment was administered to experimental group, in 12 one-hour sessions. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results indicated that the Transdiagnostic treatment is effective in decreasing Anxiety Sensitivity and obsessive-compulsive symptoms and increasing the Distress Tolerance. According to the results, Transdiagnostic treatment was suggested for improving the Distress Tolerance and Anxiety Sensitivity and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of stress management training on homesickness, interpersonal difficulties and dormitory adjustment among 9th grade female students in boarding schools in Shiraz. The research method was experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up with the control group. The participants included all 9th grade female students in Shiraz in the academic year of 1392-1393. All the students were given questionnaires on homesickness, interpersonal difficulties and dormitory adjustment. 17 students were chosen based on their higher scores on either the homesickness or interpersonal difficulties tests or their lower scores on the dormitory adjustment test. Then, one of the two schools was randomly assigned to the experimental and the other to the control group. The experimental group completed 10 two-hour training courses on stress management. The results showed that stress management training led to a decline in homesickness and interpersonal difficulties and an increase in dormitory adjustment among students in the experimental group in comparison with the students in the control group.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of interpersonal psychotherapy on eating disorder symptoms,its components and at the psychosocial performance of female students at Lorestan University. The present study was a field experimental study with a pretest, post-test and control group. In the study, sampling was applied in two steps. In the first step, 641 female students were randomly selected by using the multi-phase sampling method. In the next step, 32 female students, Whose scores on the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) were 20 Or above, were selected and randomly divided in experiment and control groups. In this research, the subjects completed an Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) and a Clinical Impairment Assessment Questionnaire (CIA). The experimental intervention that was performed for the experiment group consisted of 14 sessions of interpersonal psychotherapy. For data analysis, a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used. The results showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in terms of eating disorder symptoms and psychosocial performance. Therefore, interpersonal psychotherapy was effective in reducing eating disorder symptoms and its 3 components (dieting, bulimia and oral control) and improving the psychosocial performance of the experiment group in compared with the control group.

Objective: This research compares the Neurofeedback treatment and medication effects on Continuum performance improvement in male students with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Method: For this quasi-experimental method, 30 students (boys) with ADHD (ages 7-14) were randomly assigned to Neurofeedback treatment and medication groups. The Neurofeedback treatment group was treated in twenty 45-minute sessions for a period of 2 months and the medication group received Ritalin during that time. Results confirmed the efficacy of neurofeedback and medication in attention improvement and impulsivity reduction. No significant differences in Continuum performance improvement between the two treatment groups was found.

This study was carried out to investigate brain/behavioral system as predictors of personality Type A, C & D in Shahid Chamran University postgraduate students. The sample consisted of 273 students who were selected by stratified random sampling method. Thereafter Gary-Wilson Personality Questionnaire (GWPQ), Type A Questionnaire (TAQ), Type C Personality Inventory (TCPI) and Type D Scale‑14 (DS14) were administered to all subjects. To analyze the data in this study, canonical correlation analysis was used. The result of this study, showed that composite of criterion variables is predictable with linear composite of brain/behavioral systems. According to the first canonical function of this study, types D, C and A respectively are predictable with BIS and FFS. The results of this study showed brain/behavioral systems (Activation system, Inhibition system, Fight and Flight system) can predict Type A, C and D. Therefore these types of personality are distinctive from this reason.
