Aim and Background: In the past, obsessive-compulsive disorder was considered chronic and ineffective, but today it has changed significantly due to findings that support the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy. The purpose of this study was the Comparing Efficacy of Inference-Based Therapy, neurofeedback training and combine the two methods in treatment of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Methods and Materials: This study was a survey and multi-group pre-test and post-test semi experimental design. In this study, 2550 subjects were selected by cluster sampling method from among teachers of Meshkinshahr city and1916 subjects completing the Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale (YBOCS) and diagnostic interview, and in the second stage, 66 out of 153 subjects who had a higher score from the point of incision 20 in the obsessive-compulsory questionnaire, after the diagnostic interview, were randomly assigned to a control group and three experimental groups, and eventually The collected data were analyzed by using MANOVA with SPSS 18 software.

Findings: The results of the comparison of experimental and control groups showed that the severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder and its subscales (check, wash, repetition, and doubt) in the experimental groups significantly decreased compared to the control group. In general, the effectiveness of the three methods Therapy on the obsessive-compulsive variable and its subscales are confirmed in the post-test phase. The effect of this effect is between 35.3 to 79.6% and the difference in the post-test scores through three treatment groups. The results obtained from the paired comparisons According to the Bonferroni test, show that combination therapy of of Inference-Based Therapy and neurofeedback education in decrease the severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder is more effective than Inference-Based Therapy and it is more effective than neurofeedback education.

Conclusions: In this study, the combination treatment of Inference-Based Therapy and neurofeedback education in decrease the severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder is more effective than Inference-Based Therapy and it is more effective than neurofeedback education.

Aim and Background: Overweight and obesity is one of the health problems of developing and developed countries and is increasing at an alarming rate throughout the world, especially in children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of emotion regulation training along with diet on psychological flexibility and self-regulatory behavior of overweight adolescents.
Methods and Materials: This research was a quasi-experimental study that was a practical and semi-experimental design of pre-test, post-test and follow-up with a control and experimental group. The statistical population of the present study included all female adolescents of the first secondary school of Tonekabon city in the academic year of 1998-99, whose number was 286. Research sample 30 students were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (15 experimental, 15 control). For data collection, Brown et al. (1991) Self-Regulation Scale, Bond et al. (2011) Acceptance and Practice Questionnaire (Mental Flexibility), and Body Mass Index (BMI) were used before and after the training. Emotion regulation training was performed as a group on the experimental group and during this period the members of the control group did not receive any intervention. Research data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance and Bonferren post hoc test in SPSS24.
Findings: It showed that emotion regulation training along with diet was effective on psychological flexibility and self-regulatory behavior of overweight adolescents.
Conclusions: According to the obtained results, emotion regulation training along with diet has an effect on increasing mental flexibility and improving the self-regulatory behavior of overweight adolescents.

Aim and Background: Obesity has spread among societies and most countries and has become a general and global issue. The present study was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of a combined weight loss program on cravings and anthropometric indicators in obese women.                                                                                     
Methods and Materials: The current research was semi-experimental with a pre-test design the test boy was with the control group. The statistical population included all obese women who referred to the nutrition clinic of Ardabil city in 1402. Considering that at least 15 samples are considered in experimental research, as a result, 45 obese women (15 people in the treatment situation with integrated weight loss program and 15 people in the situation without treatment) were randomly selected and placed in the group. Each of the experimental group was treated separately daily for 50 minutes and with 14 sessions, and the control group did not receive treatment. The members of each group were evaluated using the Cepeda-Benito craving questionnaire and anthropometric indices in the pre-test and post-test stages, and multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the data.
Findings: Based on the obtained results, the integrated weight loss program had a positive and significant effect on food cravings, Body Mass Index and WHtR index (P<0.001), so that the scores of the subjects of the experimental group decreased significantly in the post-test of these variables, but on WHR and AVI had no significant effect (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it seems that the integrated weight loss program method can be used in weight loss and lifestyle change programs and improving community health.
