Method: The method of the study was quasi-experimental and single-subject A-B-A design. Four of the obesity treatment clients who referred to the University Psychological Clinic and four of the obesity treatment clients who referred to the Reflective Therapy Clinic were selected to participate in this study. All of the participants showed BMI ≥ 30. The clients of University Psychological Clinic received Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and the clients of Reflective Therapy Clinic received Sojouq Reflex Therapy. At baseline, end of treatment, and two months after treatment, the participants’ levels of anxiety were measured using Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and their weight changes were measured using a digital scale. The data was then analyzed using reliable change index and recovery percentages. Findings: The results showed that both methods lead to weight loss, and the reduction occurs more rapidly in Reflection Therapy compared to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. However, at the follow-up stage, weight loss was observed more in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy compared to reflective therapy. Anxiety was also reduced in both treatment modalities; however, the reduction was significant only in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.

This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of the Gottman Couple Therapy (GCT) and the Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) on couples’ Emotion regulation. Method: The method of this study was quasi-experimental using pre-test and post-test with a control group design. The sample consisted of 36 couples who were selected from couples who referred to counseling centers in Shahroud city. The selected participants were matched according to the scores lower than the average in Spanier’s (1976) Marital Adjustment Scale and were then assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (12 couples is each group). One experimental group received 10 weeks of GCT, the other experimental group received 9 weeks of EFCT. The control group received no intervention. Before and after the intervention, all participants completed the Deficit Emotional Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer, 2004). Findings: The results showed that differences in all components of deficit emotional regulation scale were significant in both experimental groups compared to the control group indicating that both methods were significantly effective on emotion regulation capability in couples.
