This study examined the effects of emotionally focused COUPLE THERAPY (EFT) and integrated systemic COUPLE THERAPY (IST) enhancing marital adjustment in attachment injured COUPLEs. To this purpose 30 COUPLEs were randomly selected and based on their pretests were assigned in two experimental and one control groups. Research instruments were Attachment Injury Measure (AIM; Millikin, 2000), and The Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS; Spanier, 1976). Nine sessions of EFT were conducted for one experiment group and eight sessions of IST were done for the other. The control group did not receive any treatment. These three groups completed post-test at the end of the experiment, and follow-up test after three months later.

Background & Aims: The family is the smallest unit of society and its health and disease are directly or indirectly involved in the health and disease of the community,but despite the importance of the family as a good environment for socializing and educating future generations, today many families suffer from traumas such as divorce, marital disputes, suicide, runaway children and other issues. They have shaken and in some cases destroyed the healthy family relationship that is necessary for the survival and strengthening of the family. The phenomenon of marital boredom is a kind of burnout and physical, emotional, and psychological exhaustion that is caused by the mismatch between expectations and reality in married life. Boredom is gradual and less sudden. In fact, love and intimacy gradually fade away and decay. At worst, boredom means the total breakdown of marital relationships. The behavioral-cognitive approach is one of the most important therapeutic approaches that has attracted the attention of psychologists. Today, the application of the behavioral-cognitive approach in COUPLE THERAPY has been approved. Considering that the problem of marital boredom in COUPLEs, which is caused by annoyance, frustration, despair, and a large psychological-emotional distance between COUPLEs, is one of the main reasons for emotional divorce, and if not properly addressed and treated, It provides the ground for formal divorce of COUPLEs, so it is important to pay attention to this phenomenon and treat its destructive effects on the marital and family system. On the other hand, supervised and clinical research on emotion-oriented COUPLE THERAPY and cognitive-behavioral COUPLE THERAPY and their effect on conflict and boredom in COUPLEs are small, so the present study to compare the effectiveness of emotion-focused COUPLE THERAPY and cognitive COUPLE THERAPY-Behavior on the boredom of the COUPLE seems necessary. Since in order to increase marital satisfaction and strengthen marital relations, it is necessary to pay attention to the cause and effect of incompatibility and as mentioned, both of these theories have completely different views on this category (incompatibility), in this study, the effectiveness of COUPLEs Emotion-oriented THERAPY is examined in comparison with rational-emotional-behavioral COUPLE THERAPY to determine which of these two approaches is more effective in reducing boredom. Methods: The present study is semi-experimental in terms of applied purpose and method of implementation. The research design of this study is a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all women who were referred to Azar Clinic in Kermanshah from the beginning of April 2017 to June 2017 due to marital conflicts and family conflicts to solve their problems and out of 200 patients, 30 people were randomly replaced in experimental group one (n = 10), experimental group two (n = 10) and control group (n = 10). They were selected and replaced using random sampling and random substitution. In general, the inclusion criteria in this study included those who had partial or desirable social and family commitments and mild or relative mental and physical health, and their performance in the way of adaptation and interpersonal relationships with their spouse was difficult and demanding. Eliminating marital problems and boredom, in other words, promoting mental health and increasing life satisfaction, have been intended to continue living together. Exclusion criteria were also COUPLEs with a history of severe addiction, longterm and frequent incarceration, leaving or running away from home, severe mental illness with psychiatric symptoms, extramarital sex complained of by one or more COUPLEs, or had severe physical illnesses that were medically diagnosed and were unable to maintain marital relationships, which according to the assessments that were made at the beginning of the referral were not included in the list of the statistical population of this study. In the present study, the marital boredom questionnaire was used. This scale was invented by Pines in 2003. The questionnaire has 21 items that include 3 main components of physical fatigue (eg feeling tired, lethargic, and having sleep disorders), emotional exhaustion (feeling depressed, hopeless, trapped), and mental exhaustion (such as feeling worthless, frustrated). And anger towards his wife). Also in this study, the experimental group participated in emotion-focused COUPLE THERAPY sessions and cognitive-behavioral COUPLE THERAPY sessions that lasted approximately two months and two sessions per week. Data were analyzed using Spss-21 statistical software. Results: The statistical results showed that emotion-oriented COUPLE THERAPY and cognitive-behavioral COUPLE THERAPY were effective in reducing marital boredom and also emotion-focused COUPLE THERAPY and cognitive-behavioral COUPLE THERAPY were equally effective in marital boredom (P <0. 001). Conclusion: In general, according to the results, it can be stated that to reduce COUPLEs' boredom, emotion-based COUPLE THERAPY, and cognitive-behavioral COUPLE THERAPY can be used, and COUPLEs can use these approaches to deepen their life expectancy. Emotional COUPLE THERAPY is used to reduce turmoil in adult romantic relationships and to reconstruct COUPLEs' interactive patterns. During treatment, small steps are taken toward safe emotional engagement, which allows COUPLEs to reassure each other and reduce conflict. Like other studies in the field of behavioral sciences, the present study also faced limitations, including the study sample, which consisted of a COUPLE who filed for divorce due to a severe marital dispute and went to family court COUNSELING centers. They have referred. Due to this, the generalizability of research results to other COUPLEs who have not filed for divorce despite severe marital discord should be done with caution. Also, the participants in the study were COUPLEs who simultaneously announced their readiness to participate in the study, so caution should be exercised in generalizing the findings of this study. It is better that such interventions be performed at least on COUPLEs with a history of divorce without separation. They should also be referred. It is also suggested that the effectiveness of the approaches used in this study be compared with other approaches and follow-up should be considered in the study to evaluate the continuity of therapeutic effects over time.

Introduction The imago relationship approach is a theory on dating marriage and the process of marital conflicts treatment. Based on the main idea of this approach, choosing the spouse is done based on a mental image from ideal parents which has been formed in childhood, and compatibility with spouse is also reliant on this early image. The present study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of COUPLE THERAPY based on imago relationship THERAPY on reducing COUPLE burnout. Materials and Methods The present research was a semi-empirical study, which used a pretest-posttest with control group design. The statistical population of the present study included all the COUPLEs with marital conflicts referring to Rastin COUNSELING and psychological services center in Gorgan, Iran, during the second quarter of 2018. The sample included 20 COUPLEs who were selected by available sampling method and were assigned into two experiment and control groups (10 COUPLEs per group) through ransom assignment method. The assessment of the subjects was conducted in pretest and posttest stages by using Pines’ marital burnout scale (1996). Eight sessions of group COUPLE THERAPY based on imago relationship THERAPY were held for the experiment group while the control group received no intervention. Results The mean and standard deviation of the scores of COUPLE burnout among the subjects of the experiment group in pretest and posttest stages equaled 81 ± 21. 97 and 68. 05 ± 15. 66, respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the scores of COUPLE burnout in the subjects of the control group equaled 80. 95 ± 16. 79 and 82. 50 ± 14. 31 in pre-and post-intervention, respectively. Results of the covariance analysis suggested that COUPLE burnout in the COUPLEs of the experiment group has significantly decreased after receiving the imago relationship THERAPY intervention. Conclusion COUPLE THERAPY based on imago relationship THERAPY enables the COUPLEs to understand one another, and experiencing this feeling can lead to increased happiness, intimacy, and empathy in COUPLEs and, therefore, reduce COUPLE burnout.
