This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy on self-concealment, self-compassion and self-injurious behaviors of female students.Materials and Methods: The research method was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group. The statistical population of the research was the female high school students in Bandar Turkmen, Iran, during the school years 2022-2023, when 30 students were included by cluster sampling and randomly placed in 2 experimental and control groups (n=15 for each group). The experimental group received dialectical behavior therapy while the control group did not receive any intervention until the end of the study. The research tools included Larson and Justin's self-disclosure questionnaires, Neff's self-compassion, and Klonsky and Glenn's list of self-injury behaviors and functions.Results: The results of the research showed that dialectical behavior therapy was effective on self-concealment, self-compassion and self-injury behaviors of female students (P<0.05).Conclusion: The results indicated that, with a receptive and non-judgmental state of mind and empathy, the dialectical behavior therapy led to the reduction of self-concealment, self-injurious behaviors and enhanced self-compassion in female students.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating disease that affects patients with a variety of problems, including reduced function, reduced life expectancy, and emotional and economic problems. For this purpose, the present study was conducted with the aim of predicting suicidal ideation based on self-compassion in married women with MS in Hamadan.Materials and Methods: The present study was a descriptive correlational study and its statistical population was 153 women with MS in Hamadan who were selected by convenience sampling method and 110 people were selected and studied based on Krejcie and Morgan sampling table. Suicidal tendencies, self-compassion, and psychological resilience were assessed by Beck's Suicide Tendency (1979), Nef's Self-compassion (2003), and Bond & etal (2011) Psychological Flexibility Questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient test using SPSS software version 25.Results: The value of r was -0.385 in the confidence level was more than 0.95 and this means that with increasing self-compassion of women, their suicidal tendency decreases.Conclusion: Self-compassion and psychological flexibility had a negative effect on the tendency of women with MS to commit suicide, so developing appropriate psychological programs to increase psychological flexibility centered on self-compassion for these patients can be useful.
