The purpose of this article is presenting the Crisis Intervention pattern from Iranian counseling association in the Kermanshah earthquake crisis based on narrative analysis. Method: The research method is narrative research method. In this research, the earthquake in Kermanshah on 21/8/96 is the beginning of the story in the crisis management discussion. Iranian counseling association has been in the region for 6 months. The stories in this study were obtained through interviews with locally based members, of which 45 were deployed in graduate and postgraduate degrees. Results: The crisis management structure of Iranian counseling association was presented at two levels of proprietary performance and public performance. In this process, public performance refers to the level of actors (personality characteristics of consultants) that overwhelms all of the proprietary functions. The proprietary function has three subfolders that are: A) performance reduction, b) performance stability, c) empowerment performance. In each of these functions, the techniques and processes were performed specifically to that function. Actions, unlike themes, are not elements within the narrative, but narratives themselves and the whole narrative is nothing but a sequence of functions. Discussion: The results of disaster intervention interventions not only help to improve the mental health of the survivors, but also contribute positively to the reduction of physical and psychological problems during post-traumatic events.

The Interpersonal Conflicts of Married People Obliged to Care for their Old Parents: A Qualitative Study
Abstract
Objective: This survey aims to identify interpersonal conflicts of the married people obliged to take care of their old parents.
Methodology: This survey was conducted by adopting qualitative method and phenomenological approach. Participants of this survey were married people with children who lived in Qom City during 2016 and took care of their old parents. The statistical sample includes 13 individuals (n=8 female and n=5 male) selected through objective sampling method. The size was determined through saturation principle. Data collection was done through semi-structured interview and analysis of collected data was done based on Collaizi's seven-step method. The method includes a range of steps from reading interview transcriptions to validation of findings.
Findings: The interpersonal conflicts that participants experienced were categorized into four classes namely siblings' conflicts (disagreement and maladjustment), marital conflicts (marital deprivations, maladjustment, promotion of bad moods and tripartite conflicts), parent-child conflict (low attention to children, maladjustment, problems of young children, tripartite conflict), and child-parent conflicts (enmeshment, maladjustment).
Conclusion: Findings of present survey suggest that caring after old parent(s) by their adult children may contribute to certain interpersonal conflicts between such adults and their own children. However, comparison of current findings with conclusions of previous surveys suggest that this issue is not an absolute as other factors such as socioeconomic status, familial condition, parent’s previous attention to his/her child, and children’s normal and motivational beliefs affect the event.
Keywords: Interpersonal Conflicts, Married People, Care, Old Parents.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to develop and evaluate psychometric properties of the Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Skills of Couples Scale (IISCS). In terms of testing, the research method was of descriptive type and the sampled statistical population included married men and women livi
ng in the city of Tehran, Iran. In this respect, 470 Iranian married men and women (277 women and 193 men) volunteered to participate in the given study.
The resulting scale in this study was the Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Skills of Couples Scale (IISCS). To develop this scale, the first step involved planning for the subject matter of the test and the second step contained designing a questionnaire based on theoretical foundations and reviews of existing questionnaires. The given scale was implemented in two stages and the final questionnaire was analyzed in order to assess its construct validity through measurement methods including internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient), Pearson correlation coefficient, test-retest method, exploratory factor analysis, as well as confirmatory factor analysis.
According to the findings of this study, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients (internal consistency) were from 0.65 to 0.78 and the results of the test-retest method confirmed the correlation coefficients between 0.54 and 0.81. In this regard, the results of confirmatory factor analysis revealed a goodness of fit index (GFI) equal to 0.95. Likewise, the goodness of fit index (GFI) was 0.95 and the adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI) was equal to 0.91 which showed a favorable goodness of fit for the model. The normed fit index (NFI) and the comparative fit index (CFI) were respectively equal to 0.93 and 0.95 indicating the desirable goodness of fit for the model. Furthermore, the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) was 0.43 which suggested a favorable goodness of fit for the given model. The results of this study showed that the Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Skills of Couples Scale (IISCS) benefited from sufficient reliability, validity, and goodness of fit to measure such constructs among Iranian samples.

Abstract
The study aims at investigating the relationship between the cognitive constructs of those who crave for marriage and those who elude marriage and psychological well-being and meaning of life. This is a descriptive research conducted using the correlational method. The statistical sample includes 106 people either eluding or craving for marriage, who were selected by simple random sampling method. The data collection tools used in this study included the researcher-made questionnaire of marriage approach, Reef's Psychological Well-being Questionnaire, the Questionnaire of Desire for Marriage, and Steger's Meaning in Life Questionnaire. In terms of the purpose, this is a fundamental research with applied implications and has been conducted in two steps. First, it has begun by collecting qualitative data to design the marriage approach scale in two stages, with the qualitative method used in the first stage and the correlational method used in the second stage. The research data were collected in the first stage using the qualitative method based on theories and using in-depth interviews with two groups of people, one eluding marriage and the other craving for marriage. Having made the questionnaire in the second stage, we evaluated its validity and reliability (using Lawshe's model to evaluate its validity and using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient to evaluate its reliability). The statistical analysis of the second research question showed that the coefficient of the correlation between psychological well-being and marriage approach did not exceed 0.85. Therefore, there is no multicolinearity between the variables (p>0.05), and no significant association was observed in any one of the cases between psychological well-being and the marriage approach, and thus the research hypothesis is rejected. The statistical analysis of the third research question showed that, regardless of the total score of psychological well-being, the coefficient of the correlation between the meaning of life and marriage approach did not exceed 0.85. Therefore, there is no multicolinearity between the variables (p>0.05). On the other hand, the results showed that the search for meaning in life has no significant relationship with any one of the dimensions of psychological well-being (p>0.05), but the presence of meaning in life has a significant positive relationship with all dimensions of psychological well-being (p<0.05).

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the parent-adolescent perception about the flexibility of family boundaries based on development.
Method: this research was done by qualitative research method and phenomenological approach. By convenience sampling, 10 girl adolescents aged from 15 to 18 and their mothers aged 37 to 55 were selected and their perceptions of family boundaries were studied by deep semi-structured interviews. Then the data were classified and coded and the results were expressed by validity report method.

Also from each of the three themes above, 14, 5 and 1 sub-themes in parents and 3, 5 and 6 sub-themes in adolescents were gained.
Conclusion: the results showed that according to the in transition context of the society of Iran, none of the two conditions of lack of flexibility and exorbitant flexibility can meet the adolescents’ needs and protect the basic security of family. Hence it seems essential for the officials of mental health, to make parents aware of how to balance the boundaries inside the family. Also conducting negotiations on family rules and the compliance of parents on the boundaries were the preventing factors of problems in families with flexible boundaries, that ignoring them in families with strict or permissive boundaries causes dissatisfaction in adolescents and makes the basic security of family at risk.

Abstract
Purpose: Mental rumination is a strong predictor for depression. Depression can damage the marital relationship. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating the consequences of rumination in women with marital conflicts.
Methods: This research was carried out qualitatively using thematic analysis method. The sampling method was purposeful and continued until data saturation. The data was obtained from 15 married women who had marital conflicts. To collect data, semi-structured interviews were used.
Results: After analyzing the data content, six main categories were obtained, including: symptoms of depression (physical pains, loss of energy, impatience, reduced desire to live, sleep problems and lack of motivation, and lower sexual desires), negative emotions (anger, sadness, hatred, sense of revenge, malice, and anxiety), impulsivity (aggression and lack of control over behavior), lowered efficiency (aggression to children, reduced association with children, and failing to do the household chores), getting caught up in negative association cycles (controversy, criticism, resentment towards spouse), and resentment towards others (reduced communication with others and withdrawal).
Conclusion: When the conflict is not resolved, the process of mental rumination is activated in women which leads to consequences such as reduced efficacy in both individual and marital relationships, as well as depression. Depression leads to increased mental rumination and marital conflics.
