General Aggression Model and Dialectical Behavior Therapy protocols were used to perform the interventions, and Aggression Scale (Buss and Warren, 2000), and Anger rumination scale (Sukhodolsky Golub & Cromwell, 20001) were used for data collection. MANOVA test was used to analyze the data and Findings showed that both General Aggression Model and Dialectical Behavior Therapy interventions had a significant effect on reducing aggression and anger rumination. There was also a significant difference between the effect of General Aggression Model and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in reducing aggression, but no significant difference was found in reducing anger rumination. According to the research findings, General Aggression Model can be used as a desirable method to reduce aggression and anger rumination. Manuscript profile

From this, 45 people who had the highest scores were selected and randomly assigned to one control and two experimental groups (n=15). The first experimental group received eight two-hour sessions of dialectical behavior therapy and second experimental group received eight two-session of cognitive therapy. The control group received no therapy. In the last session, participants were evaluated again for general health. Analysis of covariance showed that after scores adjustment of pre-test, there are significant differences between the means of three groups’ post-test scores.

In cognitive flexibility theory, mental health is considered to be an acceptance of self’s internal and external environments, self-acceptance and commitment to activities which are consistent in terms of value. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy on cognitive flexibility of depressed people. To this end, during the pre-test and post-test, in a semi-experimental study with a control group, 37 students of Ahvaz University who had mild symptoms of depression were selected using purposive sampling. They were randomly divided into two groups of control and experiment (21 patients in the experimental group and 16 patients in the control group). The groups were tested both at the beginning and at the end of the study, in terms of depression and cognitive flexibility. The experimental group underwent cognitive behavioral group therapy for two months (8 sessions of 90 minutes each). Mankva analysis indicated that cognitive behavioral therapy is effective on increasing cognitive flexibility and this effect continues until the follow up stage. It seems that using cognitive-behavioral techniques and exercises, we can increase flexibility and eventually improve mood. Manuscript profile

Methamphetamine, is a stimulant and addictive substance that stimulates the brain and nervous system severely, chemically it has a greater effect than amphetamines. There is no single biological treatment for the substance abuse of this material.  Therapeutic concentrations are focused on psychological interventions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cognitive-behavioral group therapy in the prevention of slip-dependent individuals on Methamphetamine. For this purpose, in a quasi-experimental, pre-test - post-test and random assignment, 30 men with Methamphetamine substance abuse who were detoxified under supervision of Lorestan University of Medical Sciences were chosen from available samples. They were assigned to two groups of experiment and control randomly. Groups were tested with regular urine tests during the intervention. Then the experiment group underwent 12 sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Results of chi-square tests indicated that a significant difference existed in the recurrence rate of students in the experimental and control groups.  It seems that group cognitive-behavioral therapy helps the patients deal with the reality of drug use, get aware of the negative consequences of using it, and have a strong incentive to continue to leave.
