Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated training package of three therapies based on acceptance and commitment (ACT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and schema therapy (ST) on interpersonal relationships in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Algebra was performed.
Method: This research was conducted experimentally with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group with a follow-up phase (quarterly). According to the inclusion criteria of all male and female clients of Nikta Clinic with the diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder, in the pre-test conditions, they answered the interpersonal communication skills questionnaire (Matson et al., 1995) and those with a standard deviation. They obtained lower (below score 62) in this questionnaire, 77 people were screened and 30 of them were randomly selected and replaced in 2 experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). Then, the experimental group underwent 20 sessions (each session for 120 minutes and two sessions per week) of a research package and a combination of three approaches of acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and schema therapy. At the end of the treatment period, again in the post-test phase, both groups were asked to answer the research questionnaire. Finally, after three months, follow-up was performed and the effect of this method was evaluated.
Findings: The results showed the effectiveness of a combination of three approaches based on acceptance and commitment, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and schema therapy on interpersonal relationships in the experimental group (F = 30.12, P 00 0.001). Also, three months after the sessions related to integrated therapy, in the follow-up phase, the integrated protocol was still effective on interpersonal relationships (p <0.001).
