Effect of Two Couple Therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Schema Therapy, on Forgiveness and Fear of Intimacy in Conflicting Couples
Overview
This quasi-experimental study compares the effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Schema Therapy on forgiveness and fear of intimacy in 30 conflicting couples. The research, conducted with participants from Tehran counseling centers, utilized a pre-test, post-test design with a control group across eight therapy sessions. Results indicate that both interventions significantly improved outcomes, though Schema Therapy demonstrated greater effectiveness than ACT in controlling revenge and enhancing reconnection, with these benefits maintained at three-month follow-up.
