Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of three approaches of self-compassion treatment, compassion based on religious teachings, and treatment based on acceptance and commitment to reduce depression in married women. Methods: The present study was performed through quasi-experimental method of pre-test and post-test using three experimental groups and one control group. The statistical population of the study was all women referred to counseling centers in Yazd in the year 2020 who were diagnosed with depression. The sample size was 40 people who were selected through available sampling method and randomly assigned to three experimental groups and one control group. In order to measure the happiness and quality of life in the sample, Life satisfaction Scale of Diner et al. (1985), and the Oxford Happiness Scale of Argyle and Lou (1989) were used. In order to analyze the research data, the analysis of covariance was used. Results: The analysis of the findings showed that all three treatments were effective in improving happiness (F=33.25 and effect size, 0.792) and quality of life (F= 89.38 and effect size, 0.911) in women (P<0/01). Also, the results of pairwise comparison of the groups showed that the treatments used in increasing happiness were not significantly different from each other, but compassion treatment based on religious teachings was more effective in improving women's quality of life than the other two treatments (P<0.01). All three methods are effective in increasing happiness and improving the quality of life of depressed married women.
