Somatic symptom disorder is a culturally dependent form of disorder, and culturally appropriate tools are necessary for its assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. Although various studies emphasize the influence of culture on the factors and fields effective in the formation of somatic symptoms disorder, However, few studies have developed a suitable test to evaluate the factors and fields of Somatic symptom disorder in iranian culture.

The present study was conducted with the aim of development and validating the questionnaire of the Antecedents of somatic symptom disorder (causal and contextual) in the Iranian society.

In terms of purpose, the present research is fundamental-applicative, in terms of gathering information, it is survey-questionnaire, and in terms of methodology, it is considered among test-making studies, which was carried out in the form of a correlational research project. The statistical population of the research included all people over 18 years of age in Tehran in 2023. The statistical sample size was 915 adults who were selected by available sampling method. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire on the antecedents of somatic symptom disorder, which was derived from a qualitative research, was used. Data analysis was done using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of the first and second type to check the construct validity and principal component analysis method using SPSS-24 and AMOS-24 software.

The findings of this research showed that the questionnaire of the antecedents of somatic symptom disorder in iranian society has favorable psychometric characteristics. The results of factor analysis showed that this questionnaire has 4 subscales of dictatorial parenting, dysfunctional couple relations, emotional and cognitive characteristics of childhood. Using Cronbach's alpha, the values of the internal consistency coefficient were found to be 0.922 for dictatorial parenting, 0.929 for dysfunctional couple relationships, 0.842 for the child's feelings, and 0.846 for the child's thoughts.

According to the obtained results, it is suggested that specialists in medical centers use the questionnaire of the antecedents of somatic symptom disorder to evaluate, diagnose and prepare a treatment plan for somatic symptom disorder in iranian society.

Former studies have demonstrated that coronary artery disease is a major cause of death and in Iran is the top cause of death and causes 45 percent of fatalities. After coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) patients face psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Progressive counting method is an effectiveness method in providing mental exposure and desensitize traumatic memories to lower anxiety and enhance a sense of mastery over spontaneous memories. But there is lack of research on the progressive counting method in Iran.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PC method on emotional symptoms (depression, anxiety & stress), which exist in CABG patients according to the literature.

In this quasi-experimental research, we used a pre-test-post-test design. Patients included those who were referred to the Rehabilitation Clinic of Tehran Heart Center within a 4 to 6-week period after coronary artery bypass surgery. Among them, 24 patients were selected. Having consented to participate in the study, all 24 participants were randomly placed in intervention and control groups. DASS-21 and IES-R were used for measurement. Assessments were performed in three stages pre-test, post-test, & follow-up in both groups.

Progressive counting method significantly reduced anxiety & stress symptoms in the intervention group (α=0.05). This method did not make a significant difference in the rate of depression. The amount of depression during the follow-up period is largely determined by these values during the pre-test period (α=0.05).

Progressive counting method probably influences the perception of the impacts of the trauma on the life of the individual and treats the implications of the trauma on the patient's life and decreases the probability of re-traumatization. It is recommended to study with more samples.

The research aimed to study the mediating role of perceived social support in the relation between adult attachment styles and social media addiction of Instagram users The statistical population of the study consisted of adult Instagram users in Tehran. The sample comprised 50 adults aged 18-60 who completed the measures adult attachment styles scale. perceived social support inquiry and social media addiction scale. The result from structural equation modeling (via Smart PLS) demonstrated that only the association between secure attachment style and social media addiction was mediated by perceived social support  .on the other hand ambivalent and avoidant attachment styles were not found to be associated indirectly with social media addition by the mediation of perceived social support. but the direct association between avoidant and ambivalent styles has been found. The Finding of this study suggests that ambivalent and avoidant attachment can be risk factors for social media addiction. on the other hand secure attachment style may not be necessarily a protective factor and mediating role of perceived social support was only found between secure attachment and social media addiction. The present study represents a step toward a better understanding of the psychological mechanisms and theoretical foundation for future studies on social media addiction.

Mindfulness has recently been considered by many mental health professionals as a predictor trait of mental and physical health and many therapeutic methods seek to increase clients' mindfulness in order to achieve health. However, there is no difference between the effectiveness of static psychotherapy and mindfulness-focused approaches. Also, mindfulness-based therapeutic methods usually perform mindful interventions the traditional way in a static manner, which leads to the repression of emotions, and these methods are not compatible with the dynamism and pace of the modern world and the dynamics of the postmodern human mind. Movement, dynamic psychotherapeutic interventions, exciting games, and challenges have been designed into sensorimotor mindful interventions. In the present study, sensorimotor mindful interventions were designed and formulated through a bio-psycho-social approach, using a mixed-method and the data obtained from 20 (including 10 men and 10 women) of the clients of the psychology clinic. In the quantitative study, the effectiveness of the designed interventions on integrative self-knowledge was measured for a sample of 30 people (including 19 men and 11 women). In this paper, the literature in the field of psychotherapy that confirms the theoretical basis of sensorimotor mindful interventions was reviewed under the discussion and conclusion section. The results of this study showed that sensorimotor mindful interventions are in line with the most up-to-date studies in the field of health and psychotherapy and these interventions incorporate a wide range of therapeutic methods. The quantitative study also showed that sensorimotor mindful interventions increase integrative self-knowledge (p < 0.05). With regard to the fact that integrative self-knowledge is one of the most important emotional self-regulation processes and a predictor of health and a sign of becoming conscious of the unconscious, the results of this study showed that sensorimotor mindful interventions lead to derepression, reconstruction of real scenes of each individual’s life, and compassionate confrontation with mental and physical reality without verbal barriers. Also, empowering the mind and body using a variety of games and challenges which bring broad personality traits to consciousness in each individual leads the person to self-actualization and talent development.

Methods of achieving mindfulness have been implemented by slowing down movement, creating stillness, and following the traditional teachings of Buddhism. The long-term effectiveness of traditional mindfulness methods on anxiety and depression has been associated with conflicting results. Recently, bodily, dynamic, and objective interventions while moving and playing on the unconscious and strengthening consciousness for the integration of mind and body have been suggested. Can these therapeutic exercises change the abnormal patterns of an anxious and depressed personality?

This study aimed to study the effectiveness of mindful sensorimotor interventions in treating abnormal personality patterns leading to anxiety and depression in clients seeking psychotherapy.

This research is an explanatory mixed-method study. The first study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test. The statistical population of the study was the clients of psychology clinics in Tehran. a sample of 20 (7 women and 13 men) of the clients of a psychology clinic in Tehran responded to Castello-Comrey (1967) anxiety and depression questionnaires before and after eight weeks of mindful sensorimotor interventions (Kashanaki et al., 2021). In the second study, during and after mindful sensorimotor interventions, personality disorders, mental health, and personality traits predicting anxiety and depression in one client were assessed by the SWAP personality test (Shedler and Westen, 2007).

The results of a correlated t-test showed that mindful sensorimotor interventions are effective in reducing anxiety (p < 0.00001) and depression (p < 0.05). The second study showed that the patient changes his pathological personality patterns and personality disorder by interventions; this intervention transformed immature defenses into more mature defenses and increased mental health factors in him, which led to a decrease in anxiety and depression.

The results of this study showed the effectiveness of mindful sensorimotor interventions in reducing anxiety and depression. These challenging interventions and a variety of games are likely to empower and increase the capacity of the mind and body and motivate them to endure anxiety and cope with depression.

Numerous studies have predicted depression, anxiety, stress, and personality traits in drug addicts. But predicting nicotine dependence based on depression, anxiety and stress; The study of the effect of adjusting the dimensions of personality has been neglected.

To explain nicotine dependence based on the role of anxiety, depression and stress, and to assess the moderating effect of personality dimensions.

This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The statistical population consisted of male students of Tehran University in 2019, among whom 5 were selected as available and were studied in two groups of smoker and nonsmoker. Measurement tools were: Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale (NDSS) (Schiffman et al., 2004), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Questionnaire (DASS-21) (Lovebound, 1995), and the Cloninger Nature and Character Inventory (TCI-56). (Cloninger, 1987). Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and logistic regression analysis.

The mediating effect of personality dimensions was significant (p <0.001). The difference in stress between the two groups was moderated by the personality components of self-efficacy, perseverance, and avoidance, and the difference in depression with self-esteem and reward; and the difference in anxiety with self-efficacy was significant (p< 0/001).

Those with low self-efficacy, perseverance, and avoidance personality traits tend to be more dependent on smoking than others.

And the results of multiple regression indicate that among the cognitive dimensions of personality, self-directedness positively and among the emotional dimensions of personality, harm avoidance negatively able to predict the quality of life (p<0/01).

This means that high Self-directedness and low harm avoidance improve the quality of life of serotonin reuptake inhibitors drug users.

Experiencing domestic violence in childhood affects the mental health and social function, alcohol abuse and borderline personality disorder in adulthood. Objective of the current study is to investigate the relationship between physical and psychological violence with alcohol abuse, borderline personality disorders and also the effect of experiencing violence in childhood on mental health in adulthood. The current study is a descriptive correlative research. To do this, mental health and experiencing domestic violence were assessed using GHQ28 (1972) and Pournaghash Tehrani domestic violence questionnaires (2005), respectively. Subjects included 220 men and women (110 men and 110 women) from Tehran province and were administered the aforementioned questionnaires. Moreover, Mclean Screening Instrument (MSI-BPD) (2003) for Borderline personality disorder and alcohol abuse disorder questionnaire (AUDIT)(1989) were utilized. Collected data was analyzed using SPSS software. Results were presented based on comparison of averages, independent t-test and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed that experiences of violence in childhood increase anxiety and social dysfunction based on the type of experienced violence with significance of P<0.01. In addition, results showed a significant correlation between borderline personality and alcohol abuse disorders with different types of violence at P<0.05 level. This means that higher level of experience of domestic violence is related to the reduction of mental health, as well as borderline personality disorder and alcohol abuse.

The aim of this study was to compare temperament and character dimensions according to the Cloninger’s seven-factor model of personality in cigarette smokers and non-smokers. The research was causal-comparative and statistical population consisted of male college students of Tehran University, from which two-hundred persons were selected purpose. The research tools were Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale (NDSS; Shiffman et al, 2004) and the short form of Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-56)(1994). The data were analyzed using Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and logistic regression by means of version 22 of SPSS.  The results showed the significant difference between two groups in only two factors of temperament and character of subjects: Novelty-Seeking (NS) and Self-Directedness (SD) (p<0/001). In other words, non-smokers earned more scores in novelty-seeking and smokers earned more scores in directedness.  Further studies are required to confirm these results on larger sample including both genders.

Neurotransmitter systems, involved in depressive disorders, are in line with personality dimensions. The present study aimed at comparing personality dimensions of individuals with major depressive disorders using Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) drugs with those of individuals using Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCA) in combination with SSRIs.
The present study was descriptive-comparative, which was carried out during year 2017 in two groups of 37 patients with major depressive disorder, who used Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) with those of individuals using Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCA) in combination with SSRIs. Samples were selected by the convince sampling method from Baqiyatallah al-Azam hospital, Taleghani, Faculty of Psychology of Tehran University and Sepehr clinics. For data collection, the “Temperament and Character Inventory” (TCI-56) was used. The validity and reliability of this inventory has been confirmed in previous studies. Data were analyzed with the SPSS version 24 software.
The two groups did not differ significantly in terms of personality traits. In other words, the mean personality characteristics did not differ significantly between the two groups (P According to the results of this study, prescribing both drug groups is recommended to increase the desirable personality scores and to reduce undesirable scores in the treatment of patients with depressive disorder.

All of the systems of an organism are struggling to get a harmony of purpose, according to “teleological coherence” hypothesis. When the self/ non-self-boundary is broken in one system, the probability of its breakdown in other systems would be increased. Hence, self-destructive characteristics as a system’s disharmony and Integrative Self-Knowledge as a facilitator of self-harmony were studied in 100 autoimmune patients (rheumatologic autoimmune diseases) and 130 non-patients (The University of Tehran students). The results showed that self-destructiveness was higher in autoimmune patients while Integrative Self-Knowledge was lower in autoimmune patients in comparison to non-patients. In addition, autoimmune patients got a higher score in aggression – as a manifestation of disharmony in the interpersonal level- compared to non-patients. All evidenced disharmony in psychological system is accompanied with disharmony in immune system. Therapeutic implications of this results show that reducing disharmony in one system, might ameliorate the disharmony in the other systems. Psychological therapies which intend to resolve the self-destructiveness of autoimmune patients and increase their self-harmony by using self-knowledge development might improve immunological functions as well. Such conclusion needs the replication of present study in different samples and cultures using more objective diagnostic system for personality.
