This study was a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population included all couples seeking divorce referring to family counseling centers under the supervision of Tehran Welfare in the second half of 1399. Using convenience sampling method, 240 people were selected as the sample. Emotional divorce questionnaire and Golombok Rust Inventory of sexual satisfaction (GRISS) were used to collect data.

The aim of the present study was to comparison of self-destructiveness, fear of failure and the big five between adolescent boys of divorced and normal families, through causal-comparative method. Ninety males (from divorced and normal families, each one 45 ones, by purposive and random sampling respectively) were selected among the 15-18-year-old boys studying in the secondary level of Karaj city. Chronic self-destructiveness (CSDS) (Kelley, et al., 1985), Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (PFAI) (Conroy, et al., 2010) and NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO_FFI) (Goldberg, et al., 1999) were used for data gathering, and Multivariate analysis of variance test was used for analysis of data. Results showed that chronic self-destruction (F=64/94, p≤.001), inconsideration (F=818/28, p≤.001), neglect (F=160/60, p≤.001), risk taking (F=543/43, p≤.001), stupefaction (F=933/52, p≤.001), fear of failure (F=1238/00, p≤.001), fear of experiencing shame and embarrassment (F=1035/45, p≤.001), fear of devaluing one’s self-estimate (F=1600/64, p≤.001), fear of having an uncertain future (F=1507/61, p≤.001), fear of important others losing interest (F=872/69, p≤.001) and neuroticism (F=2202/94, p≤.001) were more common in male adolescents with divorced than normal families. In other dimensions of the big five, extraversion (F=1719/52, p≤.001), openness to experience (F=47/12, p≤.001), agreeableness (F=3032/96, p≤.001), and conscientiousness (F=1788/59, p≤.001), the mean scores in adolescent boys with normal families were higher than divorced one. The negative experiences, the absence of a caring parent, and the lack of a sense of security in divorced families can be the reasons for the higher rate of self- destruction and fear of success in adolescents from divorced families.

The purpose of the current research was the effectiveness of Cognitive hypnotherapy in reducing the anxiety of women with generalized anxiety disorder. This research was quasi-experimental in terms of practical purpose and in terms of data collection. The statistical population of the study included all women with generalized anxiety disorder who had referred to four counseling centers in Bandar Anzali city. For this purpose, 30 women diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder were selected and randomly divided into two experimental groups (15 people) and control (15 people) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Short Scale was administered to both groups and Cognitive hypnotherapy was performed for 2 months during 8 one-hour training sessions, individually for the subjects of the experimental group, and the control group did not receive treatment. Then the said questionnaire was again implemented on both groups. The data were analyzed using the covariance statistical method. The findings showed that Cognitive hypnotherapy was effective in reducing the anxiety of women with generalized anxiety disorder. Therefore, it can be concluded that psychologists and psychiatrists can use Cognitive hypnotherapy to reduce the anxiety of women with generalized anxiety disorder.

Poetry therapy is a type of creative art therapy that uses poetry and other stimulating forms of literature to achieve therapeutic goals and personal growth. Positive and negative symptoms have been reported to be effective both in controlling and treating schizophrenia patients, and non-pharmacological interventions are necessary to reduce these symptoms. One of the new non-pharmacological interventions in this field is poetry therapy, therefore, the present research has been investigated with the aim of its effectiveness in a group on positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients. This study was conducted as an experiment with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included patients hospitalized in the treatment and rehabilitation centers of Ardabil city. Among these people, 22 people were selected by cluster random sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Eleven group poetry therapy sessions were conducted for the experimental group and the control group did not receive any intervention. The positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) was used to collect data and the data was analyzed by univariate analysis of variance on SPSS-22. The results showed that after controlling for the pre-test effect, the average post-test scores of the experimental group subjects in positive symptoms, negative symptoms were lower than the scores of the control group subjects (P<0.05), which indicates The effectiveness of group poetry therapy intervention was. This study showed that group poetry therapy is effective as a non-pharmacological treatment on chronic schizophrenic patients and can be used by clinical specialists in treatment centers.

The purpose of this study was to predict self-destructiveness based on the level of perceived stress, brain-behavioral systems and defense mechanisms. The statistical population was the students of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2017-2018. Through them 150 students answered the questionnaires using convenience sampling method. The research design was correlational. Chronic Self-Destructive Scales (CSDS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Behavioral Inhibition System- Behavioral Activation Systems (BIS/BAS) and Defense Styles Questionnaire (DSQ) were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using SPSS-22 software, and Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise regression were used to analyze the data.The results showed that there is a relationship between self-destructiveness with perceived stress (p≤.01), sensitivity to punishment (p≤.001), sensitivity to reward (p≤.05), drive (p≤.01), fun seeking (p≤.05). 01), immature defensive styles (p≤.01) and neurotic defensive styles (p≤.01). Also, the regression analysis showed that fun seeking (R2=.33), reward sensitivity (R2=.26), drive (R2=.23), neurotic defensive styles (R2=.17), immature defensive styles (R2=.11) and sensitivity to punishment (R2=.11) were able to predict self-destruction. In conclusion, it can be said that perceived stress in dynamic relation with brain-behavioral systems and defense styles can predict self-destruction. sensitivity to punishment, from the brain-behavioral systems, and immature defensive styles, from the defense styles, were most strongly associated with self-destructiveness.
