The method of the present study quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest-follow-up and control group. The statistical population of the study included 153 female-headed households of Shabestar County Relief Committee, of which 30 people were selected by available and targeted sampling method whose score was selected in Jones Balabood irrational beliefs test and randomly divided into two experimental groups (based on Acceptance and commitment treatment (reality therapy group)and a control group. Data analysis was performed by mixed analysis of variance Results of the analysis showed that the two approaches based on the acceptance and commitment therapy and reality therapy significantly reduce women's irrational thoughts (P<0.01). Also, comparing the effectiveness of the two groups showed that the effect of treatment method (ACT) on the irrational beliefs of female-headed households was significantly greater than reality therapy(P<0.01), so it can be concluded that irrational beliefs are among the factors that can Cause problems. Based on this model, the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and reality therapy approachescan be used to improve and correct clients' irrational beliefs. From this study, it can be inferred that there is a significant difference between the effectiveness of the two treatments on irrational thoughts of female-headed households (P = 0.04).
