For of the experimental groups, meta-diagnostic treatment packages and treatment based on acceptance and commitment were provided in eight 90-minute sessions. The data were analyzed by univariate covariance analysis using SPSS19 software.Results: Both trans-diagnostic interventions and acceptance and commitment were effective in improving the quality of life of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (p<0.05), while the examination of the difference in means in the follow-up test indicated higher effectiveness of transdiagnostic treatment on quality of life.Conclusion: With the effectiveness of both approaches used, the conclusion shows that doctors and the treatment team can prevent the severity of secondary symptoms caused by chronic diseases by using psychological treatment approaches along with biological treatments and thereby facilitate the treatment process.

Aim of study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral and acceptance and commitment therapies to anger in women with postpartum depression. Materials and Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design and 3-month follow-up with the control group. The statistical population was women with postpartum depression who referred to health centers in the west of Alborz province in 2019. 45 of these patients with Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, their depression was confirmed, selected by available sampling method and by random sampling method in two experimental groups and one control (15 people in each group), Were located. The groups responded to the Persian version of the Spielberger state-trait anger expression inventory-2, for a pre-test. The members of Experimental group 1 received cognitive-behavioral therapy, and experimental group 2 received acceptance-commitment therapy. Control group did not receive any intervention. In the post-test, this questionnaire was administered again. Results: The mean and standard deviation of anger were 182.96±21.76 in the pre-test, 143.13±40.07 in the post-test, and 142.31±40.55 in the follow-up. Mean difference between cognitive-behavioral groups and acceptance and commitment therapy with the control was significant (P=0.000). Mean difference between the groups of cognitive-behavioral and acceptance and commitment therapy was not significant (P=1.000). In follow-up, mean difference between cognitive-behavioral and control was not significant (P=0.054), mean difference between acceptance and commitment therapy and control was significant (P=0.018). Conclusion: Considering the more stable effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy, it is suggested that, to reduce anger in women with postpartum depression, preferential treatment be considered.
