Abstract
This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of group counseling based on reality therapy on academic resilience and academic procrastination in students with visual impairment. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all visually impaired students in Tehran in the academic year 2020-2021, of which 30 people, 15 people in the control group, and 15 people in the experimental group were selected through available sampling. They were randomly placed in two groups. To collect data, Solomon and Rothblom's Procrastination Assessment Scale - Student (PASS, 1984), Samuels's academic resilience (ARI, 2004), and Glasser's reality therapy protocol (2010) were used during 8 sessions of 90 minutes in person. To analyze the data, the multivariate covariance test was used. The research findings showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there was a significant difference at the level of 0.05 between the average of the post-test of academic resilience and academic procrastination in the two experimental and control groups. As a result, the educational method of reality therapy can be used as one of the new positive approaches to improve the academic performance of visually impaired students with relatively stable effects, to increase academic resilience.

Abstract
Divorce of parents is a fateful and risky incident in a child's life. The present study seeks to identify and classify the psychological injuries of divorced children. For this purpose, 3296 documents were retrieved from the Iranian scientific databases including Magiran, SID, Noormags, and Ensani from 2006 to 2023. Then, using the CASP evaluation checklist, 26 documents were selected and analyzed. The findings led to the extraction of 42 criteria to explain the psychological damage of children of divorce, and its classification in the form of 2 intrapersonal (26 criteria) and interpersonal (16 criteria) dimensions. Among the identified criteria, children of divorce are more likely to face a decrease in mental health and self-esteem and an increase in anxiety, anger, and aggression, and they suffer from problems such as incompatibility, depression, sadness, isolation, and loneliness. These psychological injuries are the source of many social problems and dysfunctions, and lack of attention can cause double risks. The continuation of the alarming, exponential and sometimes exponential trend of divorce statistics and the continuation of the current approaches, decision-making, decisions, and actions, which are mainly formal, passive, reactive, insular, and fragmentary, can not only face serious risks to individual and family health but also the foundation of Islamic culture. It brings double damage to Iran in terms of public and national security. It seems that the continuation of this dangerous trend is the biggest soft threat to society, which seriously threatens the foundation, health, growth, and stability of Islamic-Iranian culture.
