This study sought to determine the difference between mentalization in children with learning disorders and those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Our study employed a descriptive causal-comparative research design. Its statistical population consisted of all six-grade students with ADHD and learning disorders in the 13th district of Tehran in 2020; 90 children with ADHD and 90 with learning disorders were selected via a convenience sampling technique. The Mentalization Questionnaire (Brown & Ryan, 2003) was used as the data collection instrument. ANOVA was employed for data analysis using SPSS(v.26) software.

The results showed a difference between the two groups in terms of mentalization ability; children with learning disorders had greater levels of mentalization than those with ADHD (P<0.001).

Based on our research findings, we recommended more comprehensive studies to assess integration of the Islamic and psychological concepts in the field of mentalization.

Intensive and short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) is one of the effective treatments for personality disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ISTDP on reducing the symptoms and defensive mechanisms of obsessive-compulsive and avoidant personality disorders.

The instruments used in this study were: Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI-III), Defensive Mechanisms Questionnaire-40 and Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders (SCID). In addition, ISTDP protocol was applied to the research sample according to the Davanlo (1995, 2000) approach for 15 sessions once a week and each session for one hour. Subjects were assessed after baseline assessment, once every 3 sessions, and after the treatment sessions, 3 follow-up assessments were performed at one-month intervals. Data were analyzed using eye charts and Friedman test and version 24 of SPSS software.

The results showed that ISTDP reduces the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive and avoidant personality disorders (p <0.05). Also, this treatment was significant in reducing, immature and neurotic defensive mechanisms and Increasing mature defensive mechanisms in individuals with obsessive-compulsive and avoidant personality disorders (p <0.05).

Infertility has many psychological and social consequences for couples and society. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of self-Concept, quality of thematic relationships and gender role conflict in predicting infertility.

This research was a correlational study. The study population consisted of women with infertility in Tehran who were selected by convenience sampling and were divided into two groups of ovulation and tubal. Research tools included the Fitz & Warren Self-Concept Scale (1996), the quality of thematic relationships (Bell & Bell, 1995), and gender role conflict (O'Neill et al., 1986). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics indices, Kendall's two-way correlation and logistic regression to predict infertility through the studied variables.

The correlation results showed that self-Concept variables were correlated with female infertility (r = 0.125), quality of subject relationships (r = 0.375), and gender role conflict (r = 0. 314). Results Regression showed that the relationship of all three variables of self-Concept, subject-relationship quality, and gender role conflict in model prediction was significant (p≤0 / 001). Gender role conflict plays a major role in predicting infertility in women and then in the quality of their subject relationships and perceptions, respectively. The results also showed that the predictive variables were able to explain 21 to 29 percent of inequality.

Self-Concept, the quality of thematic relationships, and gender role conflict play a decisive role in predicting infertility in women, so improving them can help to shape and improve family functioning.
