Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy on stigma and death anxiety in epileptic patients in Bukan. Method: The quasi-experimental study was a pretest-posttest or control group. The statistical population included all patients with epilepsy referred to medical centers in Buchan in 1399. Accordingly, 60 people (22 men and 38 women) were divided into two groups of 30 people, including the experimental group and the control group, by random assignment. The experimental group was evaluated as a clinical trial in 8 sessions of 90 minutes twice a week using the Templer Death Anxiety Questionnaire (1970) and the modified Ritcher Disease Stigma Scale (2003) to collect data. Multivariate covariance was used to analyze the data. Findings: Results of multivariate analysis of covariance, effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on death anxiety (P=0.05) and stigma (P=0.01) and its components including loneliness (P=0.01), confirmation of stereotypes (P= 0.01) Experience of social discrimination (P= 0.05) and Withdrawal from the community(P=0.05). Therefore, the use of cognitive therapy has a significant effect on death anxiety and stigma and its components such as loneliness, confirmation of stereotypes, experience of social discrimination, withdrawal from the community of subjects in the experimental group. Conclusion: Cognitive-behavioral group therapy reduces death anxiety and stigma and its components such as loneliness, confirmation of stereotypes, experience of social discrimination, withdrawal from society.

The goal of present study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy on aggression reduction in brain injured people. The plan of study was quasi experimental through pretest, posttest and follow up with control group. The sample of this study consists of 16 brain injured patients in Mashhad city and selected by Convenience sampling method and voluntarily participate in this study. Participants randomly divided into two groups. The first groups receive cognitive behavioral therapy and the second group hasn’t any therapy. Two groups in three pretest, posttest and follow up time level were measured. Applied measures in this study consisted of Buss-Pery Aggression Questionnaire and collected data were analyzed through Spss software by repeated measure analysis of variance. The results showed that experimental group that receive CBT showed insignificant differences in aggression reduction in compare with control group that don’t receive any therapy. There is discussion about the results in theoretical approach and its importance in clinical intervention. On the whole we could apply the results of present study in valid and accurate assessment and diagnosis of the brain injury effects in legal medical centers and furthermore offer CBT services for this clinical population as non-medical treatment, efficient and inexpensive therapy.
