Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of reality therapy based on choice theory on psychological capital of orphan adolescent girls. The research method was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and control group. The statistical population of this study included all adolescent girls aged 13-19 living in Mashhad welfare center. The statistical sample included 24 people who had a low score on the Luthans Psychological Capital Questionnaire and were randomly assigned to both experimental and control groups. Then, the choice theory was performed in 8 steps for the experimental group. Finally, the post-test was taken from both the experimental and control groups. Covariance analysis was used to analyze the data. Findings show that the reality therapy based on choice theory has been effective on increasing the psychological capital in the experimental group. Implementing reality-based therapy has increased the components of hope, optimism, self-efficacy, and resilience. According to the findings of this research, this approach can be used in orphan adolescent residential and juvenile correctional centers.

Abstract
Aim: One of the most important factors influencing the stability and growth of family is marital adjustment. Marital adjustment refers to a situation in which couples often are concerned about each other’s welfare and satisfaction, which this process is established during the couples' life. Current research is aimed at studying the effect of relationship enhancement program training on increasing women' marital adjustment for women under the support of Imam Khomeyni Foundation. For this purpose, an experimental design with a pretest-posttest and control group was used. Among women volunteered to participate in the sessions, 40 individuals were chosen and randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received relationship enhancement program training during six 90-minute sessions, while the control group received no training. Participants from both groups completed Spanier' marital adjustment questionnaire. Results from analysis of covariance and independent samples t-test showed that group relationship enhancement program training sessions significantly increased marital adjustment and its dimensions (satisfaction, cohesion, consolation and affection expression).

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment-based parenting training on parenting styles of mothers with mentally retarded children. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group study. The study population consisted of all the mothers of mentally retarded children attending exceptional elementary school in Bojnord between 2018 and 2019. Twenty-four volunteer mothers were selected and divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received acceptance and commitment-based parenting training, and the control group did not receive any training. The Baumrind Parenting Styles Questionnaire was used in this study. The data were analyzed by multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance. Findings: results showed that acceptance and commitment based parenting training increased authoritative parenting style and decreased permissive parenting style (p≤0/01). Moreover, acceptance and commitment-based parenting training did not have significant effect on authoritarian parenting style (p≥0/05). Conclusion: Acceptance and commitment-based parenting training can improve parenting styles of mothers with mentally retarded children.

The statistical population consisted of all couples who had attended counseling centers in city of Bojnord (Iran) during 2021.

The Emotional Abuse Scale (EAS) was used to collect data in three stages (baseline, intervention, and follow-up). The intervention consisted of the emotional couple therapy training (hold me tight) that was administered in eight 120-minute sessions for each of the 3 pair of couples. Data analysis primarily included visual analyses, such as level, trend, and variability at three stages of baseline, intervention, and follow-up, both as within-condition, and between-condition layers. Findings: Results showed that the emotional couple therapy training (Hold Me Tight) is effective in reducing emotional abuse.
