The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of short-term dynamic psychotherapy on the emotional expression and differentiation of betrayed women. The research method was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population of the study included all betrayed women who were referred to counseling centers and psychological services in Tehran in the second half of 2020. Using the available sampling method, 40 people were selected as a sample and randomly tested in 2 groups of 20 people. They were replaced awaiting treatment. The experimental group underwent 9 sessions of 75-minute short-term dynamic psychotherapy and the waiting group remained on the waiting list. The instruments used included the Emotional Expression Questionnaire (EEQ) (King and Emmons, 1990) and Differentiation (DSI) (Skowron & Friedlander, 2003) which were used in two stages pre-test and post-test. Data analysis was performed using SPSS22 software and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The results showed that short-term dynamic psychotherapy increased the expression of emotion (and its components) (p<0.01) and differentiation (and its components) (p<0.01) in betrayed women. These results can provide appropriate educational and therapeutic implications for therapists as well as betrayed women to reduce the problems caused by this problem.
