IntroductionThe aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of schema therapy and compassion-focused therapy on marital life satisfaction and maladaptive schemas. Marital relationships are the most basic and important interpersonal relationships that create the basic structure for establishing family relationships and raising children. One of the common concepts to show the level of happiness and stability of this marital relationship is the concept of marital satisfaction. Another variable that can affect women's performance is early maladaptive schemas. Early maladaptive schemas are beliefs that people have about themselves, others, and the environment, and typically stem from the satisfaction of basic needs, especially emotional needs, in childhood. Various factors can affect and change the variables of early maladaptive schemas and marital satisfaction of women. Schema therapy and compassion-focused therapy play an important role in this satisfaction.MethodsThe present study was an experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population included married women students of Ahvaz Azad University in 2019 which 60 of them with a history of marriage between 1 to 5 years were selected by purposeful method and then randomly divided into two experimental groups (20 people each) and one control group (20 people). The research tools were marital satisfaction questionnaire and initial maladaptive schemas questionnaire. The schema experimental group received eight 90-minute schema therapy sessions and the compassion experimental group received eight 90-minute compassion-focused treatment sessions based on Gilbert's concepts. Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of covariance. ResultsThe results showed that schema therapy is effective on marital satisfaction of married women and also on four of the five domains of primary maladaptive schemas and treatment focused on compassion on marital satisfaction and on all five domains of primary maladaptive schemas. Also, comparing the means of schema therapy and compassion-focused therapy in the dependent variable of marital satisfaction in the post-test and follow-up stages showed that there is no significant difference between schema therapy and compassion-focused therapy in terms of effectiveness on marital satisfaction. Schematic therapy and compassion-focused therapy in the dependent variable of maladaptive schemas showed that the difference between the means of these two groups in none of the five areas of early maladaptive schemas in the post-test and follow-up stages was significant. Therefore, it can be said that there is no significant difference between schema therapy and compassion-focused therapy in terms of the effect on initial maladaptive schemas in the post-test phase and the follow-up phase.DiscussionAccording to the obtained results, schema therapy and compassion-focused therapy can be used to improve marital satisfaction and early maladaptive schemas in married female students.

IntoductionMajor depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders are chronic and disabling disorders that affect the ability to experience normal mood and causing impairment in all performances of the individual. To improve these patients, effective factors must be known, recognized and treated or controlled. One of the most influential factors is rumination, thinking which is involved in the onset and recurrence of these disorders. One of the most important concepts that has been taken into consideration by many experts in the formation and survival of many disorders, including depression, are dysfunctional attitudes. One of the new therapies used for these disorders is mindfulness based cognitive therapy. Mindfulness based cognitive therapy is designed to reduce the relapse of depression. For the same reason, the purpose of the present research was to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness based cognitive therapy on the use of rumination thinking and dysfunctional attitudes of people with depression and obsessive compulsive disorders. Materials and methodsThe design of research was experimental with the pre and post-test with control group. The sample included 80 patients with major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders that according to psychiatric diagnosis and DSM-5 had been diagnosed and were divided randomly into experimental and control groups. The used instruments included Thinking Rumimination Questionnaire and Dysfanctional Attitude Scale. First, for both groups pre-test was taken. Then, experimental group, at 8 sessions, were trained with mindfulness based cognitive therapy, and after finishing sessions, both groups were taken post-test. To analys6is data, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used. ResultsThe results of research showed that mindfulness based cognitive therapy caused reduction in rumination thinking in patients suffering from majar depression (F = 330/96, P < 0.05) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (F = 482/27, P < 0.05) at post-test level. Also, the treatment reduced the from dysfunctional attitudes of patients suffering majar depression (F= 167/31, P < 0.05) and obsessive-compulsive (F = 436/10, P < 0.05) at post-test level. ConclusionsFinally, it can be concluded that in mindfulness based cognitive approach, individuals feel better through new relationships that make up their thoughts. For this reason it is anticipated that this treatment can be used both exclusively and in combination with the treatment of mental and physical disorders. On the basis of research findings, it is predicted that mindfulness based cognitive therapy will play important role in treating mental disorders and prevention of the onset and relapse of these disorders.
