Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of unified trans-diagnostic treatment on the emotional expression and sexual function of the infertile women. Method: It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest and control group design. Two-month follow-up period was administered too. The statistical population included infertile women who referred to Infertility Clinic at Mother and Child Hospital and Samar Infertility Clinic in the city of Shiraz in the winter of 2021. Thirty six infertile women were selected through voluntary sampling method and randomly accommodated into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received ten sessions of unified trans-diagnostic treatment during two-and-a-half-months. The applied questionnaires in this study included Emotional Expression Questionnaire (EEQ) (King, Emmons, 1990) and Sexual Function Questionnaire (Keraskian, Mojembari and Kaiballah, 2014). The collected data were analyzed through mixed ANOVA via SPSS23 software. Findings: The results showed that unified trans-diagnostic treatment has significant effect on the emotional expression (F=39.82; Eta=0.54; P<0001) and sexual function (F=31.88; Eta=0.49; P<0001) in the infertile women. Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study it can be concluded that unified trans-diagnostic treatment can be used as an efficient therapy to improve emotional expression and sexual function in the infertile women through employing techniques such as identifying emotions, emotional awareness, cognitive reassessment, and identifying patterns of emotion avoidance.

Objective: One of the most important factors in sexual and marital satisfaction is sexual assertiveness. Recording to survivors of breast cancer shows unsatisfactory for most of them with a same pattern of sexual activity; this study was conducted to determine the efficiency of four-factor psychotherapy (therapeutic relationship, expectancy to therapy, increasing awareness and behavior regulation) on increasing sexual assertiveness survivors of breast cancer. Method: This research was performed using semi-experimental study with pre-test/post-test control group design and 2/5 months follow-up. The statistical population included all married breast cancer survivors who were referred to Shohada-e Tajrish hospital in 2015. The samples were 30 survivors who selected available and randomly divided into two groups of 15 (a control and an experimental group). Hurlbert index of sexual assertiveness (HISA) was completed as pre-test, post-test and follow up by participants. The experimental group attended in ten-weekly, 90 minutes sessions of psychotherapy. At the end, factorial analysis of variance was applied to analyze the data. Results: showed no significant difference between levels of sexual assertiveness in experimental and control group after treatment. On the other hand this psychotherapy could increase sexual assertiveness in survivors with high sexual assertiveness in pre-test tough this Significance was unstable in 2/5 months follow up. Conclusion: four-factor psychotherapy is not effective way to increasing sexual assertiveness in breast cancer survivors.

Objective: Cancer is one of the most common diseases in different societies. The purpose of the present research was to study effectiveness of behavior regulation training on anxiety reduction among women with breast cancer. Method: To do this study, in a semi experimental research, with pretest-posttest design, by control group, 30 women with breast cancer of Cancer Research Center of Shohadaye Tajrish Hospital were accessibly selected and randomly placed in the experimental and control groups. At the beginning and end of the study, subjects were tested by the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck & Clark, 1988). The experimental group learned behavior regulation techniques (Lotfi Kashani, Vaziri, 2005) in 8, 90- minute group sessions. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance. Results: covariance analysis of anxiety scores in the experimental and control groups showed a significant decrease in anxiety of the experimental group by keeping the score changes constantly (p
