The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) on communication patterns and marital intimacy in cases of marital infidelity among women in the city of Isfahan.

Methods and Materials:

The research method was quasi-experimental, utilizing a pretest-posttest design with control and experimental groups. The statistical population of this study included all women with experiences of marital infidelity who sought counseling in the city of Isfahan in 2023. The sample consisted of 45 women with experiences of marital infidelity who sought counseling services in Isfahan, selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups—DBT and EFT—and one control group. Data were collected using the Marital Infidelity Questionnaire by Yenisey and Kokdemir (2006), the Communication Patterns Questionnaire by Christensen and Salovey (1984), the Marital Intimacy Questionnaire by Bagarozy (2001), and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire by Gross and John (2003). Data analysis was conducted using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance.

The results indicated that both Emotion-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy were effective in improving communication patterns and marital intimacy among women. Furthermore, the findings revealed that Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy had a greater impact than Dialectical Behavior Therapy on improving these variables.

Based on the findings, both EFT and DBT can be utilized as effective, cost-efficient, and practical approaches with wide applicability in improving and repairing couple relationships.

 The present study aimed to examine the relationship between alexithymia, loneliness, and differentiation with suicidal thoughts in high school students.

 This research is a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population included all female high school students in District 4 of Tabriz during the 2023-2024 academic year (N=4000). Using Krejcie and Morgan's table and multistage cluster random sampling, 351 students were selected as the sample. The data collection tools included the Jackson Differentiation of Self Inventory (2003), the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (1994), the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (1991), and the UCLA Loneliness Scale (1980). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS version 20.

 The results indicated a significant positive correlation between alexithymia and loneliness with suicidal thoughts in high school students. Additionally, a significant inverse relationship was found between differentiation and suicidal thoughts in high school students. The multiple regression results also showed that differentiation (beta = -0.38), alexithymia (beta = 0.35), and loneliness (beta = 0.23) could significantly predict changes in suicidal thoughts among high school students, accounting for 52% of the variance in suicidal thoughts.

 The findings of this study underscore the importance of planning and providing appropriate educational and therapeutic programs aimed at enhancing self-differentiation to reduce suicidal thoughts among students, while also addressing loneliness and alexithymia. The study's results should be communicated to education officials for implementation.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in reducing emotional exhaustion and enhancing empathy among participants. This randomized controlled trial included 30 participants, randomly assigned to either the DBT intervention group or a control group, with 15 participants in each group. The intervention group underwent eight 75-minute DBT sessions over three months, while the control group received no intervention. Emotional exhaustion and empathy were measured at baseline, post-intervention, and at a three-month follow-up using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), respectively. Data analysis was conducted using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measurements and the Bonferroni post-hoc test, with statistical analyses performed using SPSS-27. The intervention group showed a significant reduction in emotional exhaustion from a baseline mean of 45.23 (SD = 8.21) to 32.56 (SD = 7.45) post-intervention and 34.12 (SD = 7.89) at follow-up. In contrast, the control group's emotional exhaustion remained relatively stable (baseline: 44.87, SD = 7.98; post-intervention: 44.12, SD = 7.89; follow-up: 45.23, SD = 8.12). Empathy scores in the intervention group increased significantly from 52.34 (SD = 9.12) at baseline to 60.23 (SD = 8.45) post-intervention, with a slight decrease to 58.56 (SD = 8.76) at follow-up. The control group showed minimal changes in empathy (baseline: 51.67, SD = 8.89; post-intervention: 52.34, SD = 8.56; follow-up: 51.23, SD = 8.67). ANOVA results confirmed the significance of these changes (F = 31.15, p < 0.001), with Bonferroni post-hoc tests indicating significant differences between baseline and subsequent time points in the intervention group (p < 0.001). The study demonstrates that DBT is significantly effective in reducing emotional exhaustion and enhancing empathy among participants. These findings suggest that DBT can be a valuable intervention for improving psychological resilience and interpersonal effectiveness, particularly in populations at risk for burnout and empathic distress.
