which was performed once a week at 8 sessions with duration of 90 minutes for
experimental group. Data were analyzed using mixed varience repeated
measure. Results: The results showed the effectivity of therapeutic
implementation on psychological flexibility (F= 6.78, P=0.016) and for all the
dimensions of cognitive emotion regulation including acceptance (F= 25.09),
positive refocusing (F=34.02), refocusing on planning (F=17.80), positive
reappraisal (F=23.44), putting perspective (F=13.06), self-blame (F=14.09),
rumination (F=15.45), catastrophizing (F=34.82) and other blame (F=16.63) at
P=0.001 level and therapeutic achievements remained stable at follow-up.
Conclusion: Because acceptance and commitment therapy leads to
psychological flexibility and commitment of the individual to perform actions
