Introduction
Obsession is a chronic anxiety disorder that is associated with excessive mental preoccupation with order and detail, as well as perfectionism, to the extent that it leads to the loss of flexibility, openness, and efficiency, which, despite the high prevalence, is one of the most resistant disorders to treatment.Obsessive-compulsive disorder sufferers experience a range of emotional reactions when faced with situations that trigger obsessive thoughts and actions. There are individual differences related to the sensitivity to these emotions and the way they are regulated, which is called emotional regulation (Hoffman, Carpenter, & Joshua, 2016). Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the structural relationships between borderline personality disorder symptoms and attachment styles with obsessive symptoms through emotion regulation.
Method
Research design the present is a descriptive correlation (Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and its sampling method is cluster random, so that 5 faculties of Tabriz University were randomly selected and 200 questionnaires were randomly distributed among the faculties. In order to measure the signs of obsession from the obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCI-R) list, borderline personality traits from the Borderline Personality Disorder (STB) questionnaire, and attachment styles from the Hazen and shaver and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire from Gross and John (2003) The data were analyzed through structural equation modeling
Results
The obtained data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results showed that the effect of borderline personality disorder on obsessive symptoms is significant with an effect size of 0.35. The effect of borderline personality disorder on reappraisal is significant with an effect size of -0.52, and the effect of borderline personality disorder on repression is significant with an effect size of 0.38. The effect of borderline personality disorder on obsessive symptoms due to reappraisal is significant with an effect size of -0.36, and the effect of borderline personality disorder on obsessive symptoms due to suppression is significant with an effect size of 0.16. The effect of secure attachment on obsessive symptoms is significant with an effect size of -0.39. The effect of secure attachment on reappraisal and suppression is significant with an effect size of -0.31. The effect of avoidant attachment on obsessive symptoms is significant with an effect size of 0.27, on reappraisal with an effect size of -0.32, and on suppression with an effect size of 0.31. The effect of avoidant attachment on obsessive symptoms is not significant due to reappraisal with an effect size of -0.07 and suppression with an effect size of 0.06. The effect of ambivalent attachment is significant on obsessive symptoms with an effect size of 0.30, on reappraisal with an effect size of -0.29, and on suppression with an effect size of 0.50. The effect of ambivalent attachment on obsessive symptoms due to reappraisal is not significant with an effect size of -0.09, and the effect of ambivalent attachment on obsessive symptoms due to suppression is significant with an effect size of 0.15.
Discussion
Therefore, it can be concluded that the findings of this research can have important practical effects for clinical therapists and psychologists to pay attention to the structural relationships of borderline personality disorder symptoms and attachment styles with obsessive symptoms through emotional regulation.

Emotional disturbance is a central attribute of pathology in various disorders, in particular obsessive-compulsive disorder. Anger is one of the main emotions that has been neglected and these few findings have many contradictions and a lot of turmoil. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop an integrated model for experiencing anger in these individuals. This research was qualitative research and was the kind of grounded theory. Participants were 29 individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder who were selected by purposeful sampling and snowball sampling. Also Data collection was through semi-structured interviews, narrative interviews and imagery. In order to analyze the data, the systematic scheme of Strauss and Corbin was used based on three open, axial and selective coding steps. Then the categories were organized in a paradigmatic grounded model. The results of this research show the causal conditions, context, intervening conditions, how to experience anger, management strategies and its consequences in these individuals. These findings emphasize the need for preventive programs based on causative variables and the design of therapeutic programs based on these findings to improve the symptoms of the disorder. Further research is needed to revise and complete the identity of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

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.
