Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of positive psychotherapy and schema therapy on illogical beliefs and body image in women seeking cosmetic surgery. The method of the present study was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with the control group. The statistical population included all women seeking for cosmetic surgery who were referred to cosmetic surgery centers in Boroujerd, in 2021. Among them, 45 were randomly selected and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (15 people in each group). Positive psychotherapy was performed on the first group in 14 sessions of 90 minutes and schema therapy was performed on the second group in 12 sessions of 90 minutes for two months through Skype. Participants completed the Jones (1968) Illogical Beliefs Questionnaire and the Cash (2004) Body Image Questionnaire before and after the interventions. SPSS-21 software and multivariate analysis of covariance were used for data analysis. The results showed that positive psychotherapy and schema therapy reduced illogical beliefs and increased body image in women applying cosmetic surgery (p<0.001) and their recovery rate was higher than the participants in the control group (p>0.001). Moreover, the results of the follow-up test indicated that there is no statistically significant difference between these two groups in illogical beliefs and body image (P < 0.05). The obtained results point to the greater use of these two interventions to change the psychological variables involved in the tendency towards cosmetic surgeries.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion-focused couple therapy and integrated couple therapy based on acceptance and commitment and schema therapy on couples' cognitive flexibility. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a two-month follow-up. The statistical population of the research was the couples applying for divorce in Binesh and Hekmat counseling centers in Behshahr City in 2018. 24 couples (48 people) were selected by available sampling and randomly assigned to three groups (8 couples in each group). The research tool included the cognitive flexibility inventory (CFI-I) of Dennis and Vander Wal (2010). Each experimental group received 14 intervention sessions... Repeated measurement analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. The results showed that both the test groups in the post-test and follow-up stage had significantly higher average scores compared to the control group in the subscales of cognitive flexibility (substitute, control, and substitute for human behavior) (P<0.01). Also, the results showed that integrated couple therapy based on acceptance and commitment and schema therapy is more effective than emotion-focused couple therapy on the control subscale (P<0.05). The results of the research showed the preference for using integrated couple therapy based on acceptance and commitment and schema therapy compared to emotion-focused couple therapy to improve cognitive flexibility by psychologists and couples counseling centers.

Abstract
This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of schema therapy on tolerance of uncertainty and alexithymia of divorced women referring to welfare. The method of this research was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population was made up of all the women who referred to Tabriz city welfare in the second half of 1402-1401, and 40 of them were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Before and after schema therapy intervention, two types of tolerance of uncertainty questionnaires (MSTAT II) by McLean (1993) and Toronto alexithymia (TAS-20) by Taylor et al. (1997) were used to collect data, and the MANCOVA test was used for data analysis. The findings showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there is a significant difference between the mean of the post-test of tolerance of uncertainty and alexithymia in the two experimental and control groups at the level of 0.05. From the above findings, it can be concluded that schema therapy has been effective in increasing tolerance of uncertainty and also alexithymia.
