Design
In this study, out of 30 people, the sample size that we will study is 15 people in the control group and 15 people in the experimental group by simple random method, so that the names are not written and we put them in a container. We put the remaining 15 names in the control group; in this method, each person has an equal chance with other people to be selected.
Settings and conduct
The Millon 3 multi-axis questionnaire will be provided to 100 clients of counseling centers in Arak. We select 30 eligible students and place 15 in the control group and 15 in the experimental group by simple random sampling. People in the intervention group undergo schema therapy. This treatment focuses on the individual's maladaptive schemas (schemas: deep, pervasive, and repetitive patterns of behavior that have developed since childhood). And by using the techniques of this treatment, the members of the intervention group are helped to modify these schemas. And remain untreated for the control group.
