Objective: The present research aimed at examining the comparison the effectiveness of imagery rescripting and reprocessing therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction on insomnia and negative automatic thoughts in cancer women. Method: This research method was semi experimental with pretest-posttest design. Using Kendal & Hollon`s negative automatic thoughts and Morien`s insomnia intensity questionnaires, 42 women of cancer who had negative automatic thoughts and insomnia were randomly selected and were voluntarily assigned in two experimental and one control group (each group was 14). The first experimental group received 7 sessions IRRT techniques based on the Smoker`s educational package (once a week) and the second experimental group received 8 sessions MBSR techniques based on the Kabat-Zinn’s educational package (once a week) and the control group did not receive any training in this field. After executing the IRRT and MBSR, negative automatic thoughts and insomnia of the members of the three groups were measured again. Results: Multivariate covariance analysis (Man Cova) was used to analyze data. Calculated F for negative automatic thoughts and insomnia showed a significant difference in all three groups, also IRRT has also been more effective in reducing negative automatic thoughts than MBSR but these two therapeutic methods have no significant difference in insomnia. Conclusion: In general, this research indicated that the IRRT and MBSR method can be considered an effective intervention in reducing negative automatic thoughts and insomnia in women with cancer.

Objective: Impulsiveness has been robustly associated with alcohol and drug misuse, but have received little attention in the context of food addiction. The goal of the current study was to examine the interrelationships between impulsiveness, food addiction, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Method: The design of this project was correlational. 60 female students selected using available sampling among female students of Shiraz University.They completed the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale to assess impulsive personality traits, the Yale Food Addiction Scale to assess patterns of addictive consumption of food and provided weight and height to generate BMI. To analyze the data, the software of SPSS22 and AMOS22, the statistical methods of descriptive indexes and path analysis were conducted. Results: Impulsiveness predicted food addiction (F= 17, > ρ 0.0001) and BMI (F= 1, > ρ 0.0001), also food addiction predicted BMI (F= 1.06, > ρ 0.0001). Impulsivity was found to be indirectly associated with BMI by way of associations with addictive consumption of food (RMSEA= 0.0001). Conclusion: Dispositional impulsivity, routinely associated with high-risk behaviors including addictive consumption of alcohol and drugs, may be an important risk factor when considering tendency to engage in addictive consumption of food. Monitoring food addiction symptoms early may help reduce the likelihood that compulsive food consumption patterns result in weight gain and obesity.
Keywords: Body Mass Index, Impulsivity, food addiction.

Results: The results showed that embodied diseases related to psychological problems and the pattern of psychological disorders in these patients could predicted. In this study, it determined that blood pressure and headache influenced by aggression, heart problems and arthritis related to depression, diabetes related to anxiety pattern, respiratory and digestive problems influenced by phobia, obesity and allergies related to obsession; and finally, skin diseases affected by interactive and interpersonal problems. In addition, a pattern of physical diseases identified by examining psychological disorders. The results showed that interpersonal interactions, obsession and anxiety have the most relationship with the incidence of obesity; depression has the greatest effect on heart diseases, phobia related to respiratory diseases, and aggression also related to diabetes. But interestingly, the highest correlation and the most significant pattern saw between obsession and obesity. Conclusion: With the help of machine learning method, this research showed that there are significant relationships between physical diseases and psychological disorders, as patterns of these relationships can inferred. The understanding and identification of these dual comorbidities will not only improve our knowledge in the boundaries of knowledge, but also have practical applications in pathology, treatment and design of special interventions for physical and psychological disorders. Also, the alignment of these results with previous research literature is a confirmation of the application of machine learning in later psychology and health studies

Aim: This study is aimed to investigate the relationship between suicidal intent and patient characteristics in middle age and elderly patients.
Method: A cross sectional study on 300 patients aged ≥45 in poisoning ward of Loghman hospital in 1388 were established. Data were collected by: questionnaire on Demographic data, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI). The results were analyzed using SPSS and chi 2 and t-test.
Results:Data support some Main causes of attempted suicide as follows:family conflicts, financial problems, physical and mental diseases, substance abuse and husband’s violence. A significant relationship between depression and suicidal thought were found (P<0.05). The mean scores of elderly patients were more than middle- aged patients, but relation between suicidal thought among two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Depression and suicidal thought are risk factors for suicidal attempt, for this reason need delivering treatment and preventive programs like bio-psycho-social health of middle- aged and elderly factors.
