  Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-analytical therapy on acute stress disorder syndrome and dissociative experiences of traffic-related injuries.Methodology: The research was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and control group design. All the injured in traffic accidents referred to the orthopedic and trauma wards of Haft-e-Tir Hospital formed the research community. Thirty patients with inclusion criteria were selected by the available method and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Data were collected in addition to the Mississippi Traumatic Stress and Dissociative Experiences Scale. The intervention group received the treatment plan for 16 sessions in 1 hour weekly sessions but the control group did not receive this program. Data were analyzed by t-test (independent and paired) and multivariate analysis of covariance.Findings: Cognitive-analytical program has been effective in reducing the score of acute stress disorder and its dimensions in the subjects of the intervention group (P<0.05). There was a significant difference between the mean scores of dissociative experiences of the two groups in the post-test period (P<0.05).Conclusion: Research findings indicate the effectiveness of this emerging treatment method. It seems that due to the combination of treatment and the active role of the patient in it, it is more suitable for patients with trauma and stressor-related disorder. Manuscript profile

  The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of Adolescent Dissociative Experiences Scale (A-DES) in Iranian society. This study was form descriptive-type research. The study sample consisted of 530 students (280 female and 250 male) selected in a multistage random cluster among students of Alborz Province high schools;After the translation of the Dissociative Experiences Scale of teens and revert back to the original language, the scale was translated into Farsi again. After final approval, surveys were taken for implementation of questionnaires in the sample. In order to answer the research questions and examine the hypotheses of research, analyses of classical psychometric theory including analysis of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis with principal components were used. Also to check the validity of the scale, some methods were used including the correlation between the total score and subscales as convergent validity, dividing method and Cronbach's alpha coefficient to estimate the internal consistency and tables of norm scale for presenting the Z sigma-aligned scores, the T score and rating percent in SPSS software. The results showed that exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis showed the validity of the test to measure the Dissociative Experiences of teens in the Iranian community. The results of this study confirmed the convergent validity of Dissociative Experiences Scale of juveniles in Iran. Estimated coefficients showed reliability of scale and subscales in both dimensions of internal consistency and reliability. Also regarding the results of comparison of juveniles Dissociative Experiences scores and its subscale in gender groups, norm scale was drafted based on the percentile ranks and Z and T-standard scores for all subjects.   Manuscript profile
