Purpose: The healthiest human society is a society whose smallest unit, the family, is healthy. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on rumination in women seeking divorce.
Methodology: The current research design was an experimental design with pre-test-post-test-follow-up. In the present study, rumination questionnaire (1991) and compassion-focused treatment protocol were used. The statistical population included all women applying for divorce who referred to counseling and psychological centers in Shiraz. The sample consisted of 40 women applying for divorce who were selected through a purposeful method and were randomly assigned to two experimental groups of compassion-focused therapy (20 people) and a control group (20 people).
Findings: The results of data analysis showed that compassion-focused therapy was significantly effective in reducing rumination in women seeking divorce, so that the within group effect size was 0.56 and the between group effect size was 0.57 (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Therefore, compassion-focused treatment can be used as an effective treatment method to reduce rumination in women applying for divorce.
