Abstract Introduction: The current research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of group training based on the solution-oriented approach to attachment styles in women who have experienced an emotional divorce. Materials and methods: The purpose of this research was practical, and in terms of the method, a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type was conducted with a control group. The statistical population of the research included women who had an emotional divorce in 2022, and 30 of them were selected using available sampling and answered the questionnaire on attachment style for pre-test and post-test. The experimental group received eight 65-minute sessions of Grant's solution-oriented therapy. Data were analyzed by multivariate covariance statistical method. Findings: It showed that the group training based on the solution-oriented approach to the attachment styles of women with emotional divorce in the experimental group was effective (p<0.05). The findings of the current research indicated that solution-oriented therapy using techniques such as emotional control in intimate relationships, giving credit to the spouse's various experiences, identifying therapeutic potentials and encouraging autonomy, focusing on finding solutions, and identifying denied needs can be an efficient method to improve the attachment styles of women with emotional divorce should be used. Conclusion: In this regard, it is suggested to use other intervention-based approaches to treat attachment styles in women who have experienced an emotional divorce.
