Aim and Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of emotional schema therapy on emotion regulation and reduction of high-risk behaviors in female adolescents. Methods and Materials: This was a semi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and control group .in which 30 people, as a sample, were randomly selected from 14- to 18-year-old junior high school girls in Mashhad who had high-risk behaviors and problems in Emotion regulation and have been referred to the Education Counseling Center of Khorasan Razavi Province, and were randomly divided into experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. In this study, the clinical interview form of children and adolescents, the Grass Emotion Regulation Strategies Questionnaire (ERQ) and the Iranian Adolescents Risk Scale (IARS) were used. Findings: The results of multivariate analysis of covariance showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in all components of high-risk behaviors except tendency to violence, so that the mean post-test scores of the experimental group were significantly less than that of the control group. In addition, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in emotion regulation strategies, so that in the reappraisal strategy, the mean scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than that of the control group, and in the suppression strategy, the mean scores of the experimental group were significantly less than that of the control group. Conclusions: In conclusion, emotional schema therapy was effective in regulating emotions and reducing high-risk behaviors in female adolescents.

Background: Vitiligo is an acquired multifactorial disorder. Different treatments are used for it and all of them have adverse side-effects. Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease associated with other autoimmune diseases such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and so on. In these diseases, deficiency of vitamin D and B12 are proposed. So in this study, treatment response and remission in patients taking oral vitamin D and B12 was administered.Methods: 60 patients with active vitiligo were randomly divided into three groups. Group I received topical PUVA for 6 months; group II received topical PUVA and 1 cc oral drops of vitamin D3 daily for 2 months, and then topical PUVA alone for following 4 months; and group III received topical PUVA and 1 cc oral drops of vitamin D3 daily and sublingual tablets of vitamin B12 daily for 2 months, and then treated with topical PUVA for following 4months. Cure rate and side effects were evaluated using Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) at the third and sixth months. Findings: In each of the three treated groups at different times, the average changes in the area and extent of the lesion were not significantly different. Pruritus and erythema occurred in some patients.Conclusion: In this study, the reduction in the extent and area of lesions in the group receiving vitamin D compared to the control group were higher that indicated the role of vitamin D in preventing progression of active vitiligo.

In this Paper, implementation of brain emotional learning intelligent controller (BELBIC) for real word applications is described. Intelligent controllers with learning and adaptively are replacing with classical control methods in various fields of industry. Emotional controllers are members of the broad class of intelligent controllers that are inspired from the emotional learning in human and some animals. BELBIC that is based on computational model of Amygdale (center of emotional learning in the brain) is explained in this paper. Single input-single output BELBIC has some parameters. A good behavior of control system achieves with fine tuning of these parameters. Good results in simulations are obtained for BELBIC applied to several linear and non-linear plants. However, some considerations are necessary when a controller is applied to a real world system. In this paper an applicable method for computer control of a real world system that is purposeful for educational environments in Iran is proposed. This method is applied to speed control of DC servo motor using BELBIC and a PID controller. The DC servo motor and interface hardware are modeled and the whole system is simulated in order to finely tune the parameters of the controller. Experimental results show excellent results for BELBIC in comparison to a classic controller and also show that the proposed method is satisfying for computer control purposes.

Introduction: Emotional divorce is a type of divorce that is not registered anywhere and is related to families who decide for reasons such as negative attitudes, false beliefs, sick mind, stress and worry, inability to meet the needs of life. They are forced to live under one roof. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of emotion-oriented therapy on agreeableness and emotional balance of women with emotional divorce. Materials and Methods: This research was conducted using a semi-experimental method and a pre-test-post-test research design with a control group. The statistical population of the research consisted of 100 women with emotional divorce in 2023 at Neday Mehrgan Counseling Center in Rasht, out of which a sample of 30 people was selected by purposive sampling and randomly in the intervention group. (15 people) and control (15 people) were placed. Emotional divorce (Gottman, 2008), emotional balance (Diener and et al 2010) and agreeableness (McCrae and et al 2005) questionnaires were used to collect data. The intervention group underwent 8 sessions of emotional therapy (Greenberg and Johnson, 1988), while the control group did not receive any training. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. Results: The results showed that emotional therapy was effective in increasing the agreeableness of women with emotional divorce (p<0.001). Also, the results showed that emotional therapy was effective in increasing the emotional balance of women with emotional divorce (p<0.001). Conclusion: The findings of the present study showed that the use of emotion-oriented treatment content and instructions is useful in increasing agreeableness and emotional balance of women with emotional divorce. Therefore, the use of this therapeutic intervention is recommended.

Background & Objectives: People with disabilities feel different emotions due to their special circumstances, which significantly impact the quality of work and their daily activities throughout life. These emotions can cause people with disabilities to adapt and their presence in the social environment to diminish. In psychology, emotions have a very sensitive and fundamental place, because their relationships to needs and motivations are significant and can be the root of many mental or emotional disorders. Emotional schema therapy argues that individuals have implicit theories about emotion and emotion regulation. Dialectical behavior therapy is another treatment that is considered in emotion regulation today. This treatment aims to achieve behavioral stability and emotional processing. Because of insufficient and necessary research in a society with disabilities and the importance and necessity of paying attention to this vulnerable group, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy and emotional schema therapy on emotional regulation in physically disabled people. Methods: The method of the present study was a quasi–, experimental design with pretest–, posttest and three–, month follow–, up with a control group. The statistical population was all 20 to 50 years old physically disabled people covered by Mashhad Welfare Organization, Mashhad City, Iran, in 2019. Forty–, five subjects with inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study by a convenience sampling method. With personal consent, they were randomly divided into two experimental groups (dialectical behavior therapy and emotional schema therapy) and one control group (15 in each group). The inclusion criteria in the study were as follows: having only physical or mobility disabilities based on the diagnosis of the Welfare Medical Commission, participation of both sexes (male and female), having an age range between 20 and 50 years, holding a minimum diploma degree, not receiving concomitant therapies with research, having enough motivation and interest in treatment. The exclusion criteria included having major psychiatric disorders such as personality disorders, undergraduate education, severe medical and physical disorders, acute psychosocial problems, severe family and occupational problems affecting the treatment process,being abscent two sessions or more from intervention or concurrent participation in other psychotherapies. The study data were collected via the Emotional Cognitive Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2001) in the pretest and posttest phase for subjects in all three groups. For the experimental groups, dialectical behavioral therapy was performed in eleven 60–, minute sessions based on the McKay et al. (2007) treatment protocol, and the emotional schema therapy based on Leahy treatment protocol (2015) was performed in eleven 60–, minute sessions. No intervention was provided for the control group. Descriptive statistics indicators (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test) were used to analyze the data in SPSS software version 25. The significance level was considered 0. 05 or less. Results: The results showed that the effect of time and the interaction of time and group on the mean scores of the emotion regulation variable (adapted strategies and non–, adapted strategies) were significant (p<0. 001). The effect of the group on the mean scores of emotion regulation variables, including adapted strategies (p<0. 001) and non–, adapted strategies (p=0. 043) was significant. Also, the mean scores of adaptive strategies of emotion regulation in the dialectical behavior therapy group were significantly lower than the emotional schema therapy group (p<0. 001). The mean scores of adaptive strategies of emotion regulation in the emotional schem therapy group were significantly higher than the control group (p<0. 001). The mean scores of non–, adapted emotion regulation strategies in the emotional schema therapy group were significantly lower than the control group (p=0. 039). Also, in the experimental groups, there was a significant difference in the mean scores of emotion regulation (adapted strategies and non–, adapted strategies) in the pretest and posttest stages (p<0. 001) and pretest and follow–, up (p<0. 001). Conclusion: Based on the findings, the effectiveness of emotion therapy schema on adapted emotion regulation strategies is greater than dialectical behavior therapy. Therefore, therapists can use the schema of emotional therapy as one of the new models of cognitive–, behavioral therapy to improve emotion regulation in people with physical and motor disabilities.
