Method: The present study was a semi-experimental one with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all patients with dysthymic disorder who attended the psychological clinics located in the 8th district of Tehran, 45 of whom were selected in a purposeful way and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. The instrument of this research was the cognitive-emotional regulation questionnaire of Garnefski et al. (2002) with the validity of 0.73 to 0.88. For the first experimental group, metacognitive therapy (Wells, 2009) and for the second experimental group behavioral activation therapy (Dimidjian et al., 2008) were held in eight 90-minute sessions, but the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were analyzed using mixed variance analysis and Benferroni in SPSS-26 software. Results: The results indicated that metacognitive therapy and behavioral activation therapy reduced cognitive-emotional regulation and its components at the end of the interventions and the follow-up period (p>0.05). Also, behavioral activation therapy is more effective than metacognitive therapy in reducing emotional cognitive regulation symptoms (p>0.05). Conclusions: Due to the effect of behavioral activation therapy on depression, it can be effective alone or with complementary therapy in reducing cognitive-emotional regulation and depressive symptoms in patients with dysthymic disorder.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of metacognitive therapy (MCT), neurofeedback and treatment with fluvoxamine on anxiety, depression and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder in patients. Therefore, in a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest, and control group, 40 patients with OCD were selected through purposive sampling method from clients referred to Kerman’s Center of Psychiatry and Psychology in Kerman, and randomly assigned into three experimental groups and one control group. Each experimental group experienced 10 weeks of treatment. The participants were evaluated for OCD symptoms, anxiety, and depression before and after treatment. Covariance analysis showed that the efficacy of three methods were effective on reducing symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety and depression. Comparison of the results showed that MCT has greater effectiveness than two other treatments and that neurofeedback therapy is more effective than pharmacotherapy in decreasing anxiety. It seems that meta-cognitive therapy and neurofeedback are effective in improving anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with OCD. Manuscript profile
