Abstract: (13 Views)
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Mentalizing Process Therapy and Integrative Transdiagnostic Therapy on distress tolerance in religiously committed women who had experienced betrayal.
Methods: This study was applied in purpose and employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test and a control group. The sample included 45 religiously committed women who had experienced spousal betrayal, diagnosed by psychologists at counseling centers in Shiraz (Segal, Afagh, and Avaye Mehr). Participants were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to three groups of 15 (two experimental groups and one control group). One experimental group received Mentalizing Process Therapy, the second received Integrative Transdiagnostic Therapy, and the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the Distress Tolerance Scale and analyzed with SPSS through descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance.
Results: Both Mentalizing Process Therapy and Integrative Transdiagnostic Therapy significantly improved distress tolerance in religiously committed betrayed women compared to the control group. However, no significant difference was found between the effectiveness of the two therapeutic approaches.
Conclusions: The findings indicate that both therapeutic methods can be effective in enhancing distress tolerance among religiously committed women facing betrayal. Nevertheless, neither approach showed superiority over the other.
