Depression is a common mental disorder And it is more common in women than men. The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of the Monotheistic Integrated Therapy (MIT) model on women's depression. The research design was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test and control group. From among the women who referred to the counseling centers of Kerman city in 1400, thirty people were selected and randomly assigned to the experimental and control group. The members of the experimental group underwent group therapy with an Monotheistic Integrated approach during 12 sessions. The collection tool was the Beck Depression Questionnaire, which was administered to both groups before the beginning of the group therapy and one week after the end of the group therapy sessions. The results of univariate covariance analysis of the data showed that the depression rate of the experimental group after the therapeutic intervention was significantly lower than the control group (F=8.5 and p=0.006). Also, the effect index (Eta square) indicates that 19% of the variance of depression in the experimental group is explained by the independent variable, that is, the Monotheistic Integrated Group Therapy. Therefore, counseling and psychotherapy centers can use this method to treat depression in women.

One of the concepts that has been considered by researchers in preventing all kinds of injuries and malfunctions such as addiction and can help the literature related to the field of addiction is the degree of its differentiation. Understanding differentiation informs us of how individuals shape their behavior within the larger social context. The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between their levels of differentiation and problem solving styles in drug addicts.

The research was descriptive-correlational and was conducted among those addicts in Kashan who had referred to addiction treatment centers in this city in 1400. Among them, 270 eligible subjects were selected by available sampling method and were asked to complete the Scorne differentiation questionnaires and Cassidy and Lang problem solving methods.

Analysis of data with Pearson correlation coefficient revealed that there is a significant relationship between their levels of differentiation and problem solving methods in addicts. This relationship was positive with constructive and efficient problem solving styles and inverse with non-constructive and inefficient styles.

The findings indicate that the level of differentiation is low in most addicts; For this reason, they are more likely to use inefficient methods of problem solving in the face of problems and events in their daily lives; Therefore, it is necessary to provide training to improve their level of differentiation in addiction prevention programs for children and adolescents, as well as in addiction treatment programs. This has a great impact on the use of effective and efficient methods of problem solving in the face of life problems and problems, and as a result, they will resort to drugs less to adapt to life problems and events.

Since depression is one of the most common mental disorders in women and the components of patience and hope play an important role in relieving this disorder, the aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of integrated monotheistic treatment on improving the three components of patience, hope and existential anxiety in depressed women. The research design is quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test and control group. The sample group consists of 40 women referred to the counseling center of Bandar Abbas Azad University who were diagnosed with depression based on Beck Depression Inventory. Then these people were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Beck Depression, Hope, Patience and Existential Anxiety Scales were used to collect the required data. The members of the experimental group underwent monotheistic integrated treatment during 12 sessions of individual counseling.Covariance analysis was performed for statistical analysis of pre-test and post-test data. The results showed that analysis of covariance showed that after the intervention, in the variables of patience (F = 37.37 and p = 0.0001), hope (F = 22.91 and p = 0.0001) and existential anxiety (= 27.37) F and p = 0.0001), a significant difference was obtained between the experimental and control groups. Therefore, according to the above results, it can be claimed that integrated monotheistic treatment has been effective in improving the components of patience, hope and existential anxiety in depressed women.Keywords: Women's depression, integrated monotheistic treatment, hope, patience, existential anxiety.

The purpose of the study was to compile the principles and structure of Islamic intervention to remove couple's disputes. The first question was to what extent and based on what principle does Islam recommend such intervention? Second question was what is the structure of such intervention like? The procedure of the research (a scientific- religious approach) was to start from Islamic text towards "compiling couple therapy" and vice versa. The results revealed that afore-mentioned interventions are based on the following Islamic principles: 1. The stance and significance of family in personal and social growth.2. Features of a decent family3. Identifying family problems4. Goals of forming a family5. Jurisprudential and moral boundaries of intervening in couple therapyThe other result was that Islamic couple therapy can be applied in five aspects including cognitive, emotional, behavioral, structural and spiritual dimensions. In the first three aspects the view in couple therapy is cognitive – behavioral. In structural aspect, the distribution of power is based on the couple's rights and boundaries in conformity with Islamic teachings. Islamic teachings concerning beliefs, morality and Islamic praying are considered to be the base of spiritual interventions.

The purpose of this research is to introduce a therapy model. This model, called monotheist integrated therapy, is a multimodal and comprehensive therapy that is suggested for curing anxiety disorder, personality disorder, drug dependence disorder, and misbehavior disorder. In this model, different psychotherapy techniques in monotheist-spiritual teachings of Islam are manipulated to nurture certain values in a person that can build his personality. Today, the Islamic society needs a therapy system based on psychological and religious teachings. That is because, when the therapy system is coordinated with the cultural background, values, and beliefs of one from one side, and the divine teachings of religions, especially monotheism and deep and sincere connection with God, from the other side, and is used along with different approaches of psychotherapy, the effectiveness of therapy will dramatically increase. That is because monotheism is the most influential factor on the cohesiveness and integration of one's personality.

One of problems of Iranian prisons is high rate of delinquency and illegal behaviors happened in the prisons by prisoners. Some of these behaviors include aggression and quarrel, disobedience of laws and regulations, drug abuse, rebellion and so on. In order to study efficiency rate of monotheistic integrated therapy in reduction of prisoner's delinquency, 100 prisoners of Qom Central Prison were randomly selected and organized into two groups. One group was given monotheistic integrated therapy for 9 months and the other served as control group. Analyzing data collected from pre-test and post-test indicated that rate of delinquent and criminal behaviors in test group which was under monotheistic integrated therapy decreased to 90%, while there was no significant reduction in the control group.
