The sample were selected by non random method. The questionnaire was used in this study is made of 90 question. Four questions of the 90 question were omitted. The reliability coefficient of cronbachs Alpha was equal to 0.889. In order to determine inventory Validity the principal component analysis was used.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is considered as one of the most prevalent anxiety disorders during the life time and can negatively influence the individual, family and social relationships of patients, so prevention and treatment of this disorder is highly important and Depression is co morbid with this disorder. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychological Debriefing (PD), Imaginal Exposure (IE) were used for the treatment of disorder, but there is controversy about long effect of these treatments especially among chronic patients. In this semi experimental research, a total of 54 Patients based on Davidson scale and psychologist diagnostic were randomly selected and then were divided into three groups. Anxiety and depression of all participants were evaluated three times: before the treatment, after the treatment and 3 months after the treatment. Data were analyzed through the repeated variance and Bonferroni post hoc tests. The results showed that PD, EMDR and IE are effective in relief of chronic PTSD depression signs respectively and remain effective in three months follow up, although there is no significant difference between EMDR and PD, but these therapies are not effective on Major Depression. It is concluded that all of the above mentioned methods are effective on chronic PTSD depression patients signs, but these treatment can not reduce the major depression signs and considering the importance of psychological interventions, it is necessary that such methods be taught to psychologists so that they can use them in the traumatic situations.

Study the efficiency of visual-motor- drawing trainings on reduction of visual perception errors, in preschoolers who have developmental delays, was the aim of this research. The sample group was chosen by randomized cluster sampling method, from all kindergartens of kerman (Iran). After identifying 45 preschoolers with probably developmental delays, a developmental scale, Goudenough drawing test, and Bender-Gestalt (koppitz scale), for 30 children were done, they had significantly more errors than their peers. They put to experimental and comparing groups by random. After preparing training materials and booklets, the experimental group were trained through 30 sessions (the length each session was 45 minutes). The results of covariance analysis method showed, drawing trainings could be effective to reduce visual-motor errors significantly. The implications of this research could be used to preschool trainings and enhancing developmental delays in important early years of childhood.
