The purpose of this research is to determine the predictive role of the dark Triad of personality traits and couples' communication patterns in marriage instability. This study is of correlational type and the statistical population was couples living in Tehran and Karaj cities. 246 people were selected by available sampling method, and the Marital Instability Index (MII), short form of the dark triad scale (SD3) and communication patterns questionnaire (CPQ) were administered. The data were analyzed using the stepwise multiple regression method. The findings showed that the variable of marriage instability has a negative and significant relationship with narcissistic personality traits and a positive and significant relationship with antisocial personality traits and has no significant relationship between marital instability and Machiavellian personality traits. Similarly, the variable of marriage instability shows a negative and significant relationship with the variable of mutual constructive communication and with other variables of withdrawal/demand, demanding man/withdrawn woman, demanding woman/withdrawn man and mutual avoidance, and a positive and significant relationship with other variables of communication patterns. Also, the three variables of constructive communication, mutual avoidance and demanding woman/withdrawn man predict the instability of marriage. In addition, there is a negative and significant relationship between the duration of marriage and the instability of marriage. From this research, it can be concluded that considering the role of communication patterns in marriage instability, marriage instability can be reduced by teaching them to couples.

One of the most important determinants of optimal family performance is marital adjustment. There are several factors associated with marital adjustment, including loneliness, death anxiety, and the meaning of life. The study aims to predict marital adjustment based on loneliness, death anxiety and the meaning of life. The method of this study is correlational. The statistical population of this study is all married people living in Tehran. For this purpose, 231 people were selected by available sampling method to complete the online questionnaires in cyberspace and completed the Marital Adjustment (MAT), Loneliness (UCLA), Death Anxiety (DAS) and Meaning of Life (MLQ) questionnaires. Data were analyzed using multiple regression method. The results of this study showed that marital adjustment has a negative and significant relationship with loneliness and a positive and significant relationship with meaning of life and no significant relationship with death anxiety. It also predicted variables of loneliness and meaning of life in marital adjustment. Thus, it can be concluded that the loneliness and the meaning of life play an important role in the marital adjustment of spouses.

The aim of this study was to determine the moderating role of orientation in men's sexual relationship with marital instability. The method of the present study is correlational. The statistical population of the study was men living in Tehran who had lived together for at least one year. Thus, 150 people were selected by available sampling method from different parts of Tehran by referring to public places and distributing a questionnaire in cyberspace. Measurement tools in this study included MII Marriage Instability Questionnaire, BSRI Gender Maps and SRS Sexual Orientation. The results showed that sexual orientation has a moderating role in the relationship between gender roles and marital instability. High levels of participatory sexual orientation reduce marital instability. The high exchange rate of sexual intercourse increases the instability of marriage in men. Also, in the direction of expectation in sexual intercourse, its increase leads to an increase in marital instability in men. In men with high expectations of exchange, exchange, and expectation in sex, increased gender roles reduce instability; But in men with low participatory and exchange orientations, increased gender roles do not change the degree of marital instability.

Postmodern movement emerged in the 1960s as a reaction against modernism, the most important differences which distinguished it from previous periods were its attitude to the reality and critical attitude towards the certainty of science and truth. In this view, reality differs for individuals and is determined by the perception, culture and language. In this view, each person's perception of reality is the product of his attitude to the life, so the existence of an absolute reality is rejected. Postmodern culture does not represent a systematic and pervasive theory because every individual or culture measures reality in its own way; so they can be understood by their own criteria, not by a standard and objective one. People also use language to construct their inner realities, so each person's words and manner of speech reflect the internalized realities and their perceptions of reality. Based on what has been said, deconstruction can be considered one of the most important postmodern manifestations that has influenced not only on aesthetics discourses but also in the sciences such as psychology in the last three decades of the twentieth century. This approach seeks to eliminate and abolish universal principles and emphasizes diversity, plurality, differences, contradiction and relativity. Accordingly, postmodern psychotherapy also came under the influence of postmodern philosophy. Social constructivism is a postmodern view of therapy that believes reality is not outside to be found; it is built within each of us and socially constructed through the interaction of culture, perception, and language. So everyone is personally and actively involved in making his own reality. The purpose of this paper is to study and investigate the impact of the features proposed in postmodernism on postmodern art therapy in an analytical and theoretical way. The main question is to find in what extent postmodern art therapy is related to the concepts in postmodernism. In this study, it is assumed that the concepts discussed in postmodern philosophy are specifically applied to the postmodern art therapy. The results of this study confirm that the deconstruction of social structures and internalized narratives, the importance of multiple realities, the importance of social aspect of art, group and discourse-based activities, pluralism, the importance of audience interpretation, the use of metaphor and etchings as well as the use of different medias in creation of artworks are among the most important features that have been introduced and applied in postmodern art therapy. Postmodern art therapy began as a means of combating social conditions, with the idea that individuals are influenced not only by their childhood experiences in the family, but also by culture, ethnic, race, gender, politic and other issues in the life. In this context, art was used as a means of expressing multiple realities to establish mutual discourses and communication as well as identifying and eliminating the dominant narratives of life. In this way according to post modern art therapy all people have the ability to lead their own lives in ways that are both satisfying and socially productive.
