Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy on Young's areas of maladaptive schema in spouses of veterans with Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Materials & Methods: A quasi-experimental method with pre-test and post- test with control group design was conducted. Twenty spouses of veterans with PTSD after the screening were assigned to experimental and control groups. Secondary trauma stress scale was used for screening, and veterans' spouse who have low score in this scale were identified and were randomly assigned to experimental and control group. The early maladaptive scheme Scale-Short Form (YSQ-SF), was used for gathering of data. Treatment program was used in 31 sessions for experimental group. Data were analyzed with test of ANCOVA and MANCOVA. Findings: The results showed that the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy on modifying of early maladaptive schemas was significant in three areas of Disconnection/ Rejection, over vigilance/Inhibition and Other-Directedness. But in the areas of Impaired Autonomy and/or Performance, and Impaired Limits did not change significantly. Discussion: Cognitive-behavioral therapy could significantly change early maladaptive schema in spouses of veterans with PTSD

Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy on Youngchr('39')s areas of manipulative schema in spouses of veterans with Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Materials & Methods: A quasi-experimental method with per-test and post- test with control group design was conducted. Twenty spouses of veterans with PTSD after the screening were assigned to experimental and control groups. Secondary trauma stress scale was used for screening, and veteranschr('39') spouse who have low score in this scale were identified and were randomly assigned to experimental and control group. The early manipulative scheme Scale-Short Form (YSQ-SF), was used for gathering of data. Treatment program was used in 31 sessions for experimental group. Data were analyzed with test of ANCOVA and MANCOVA. Findings: The results showed that the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy on modifying of early manipulative schema was significant in three areas of Disconnection/ Rejection, over vigilance/Inhibition and Other-Directness. But in the areas of Impaired Autonomy and/or Performance, and Impaired Limits did not change significantly. Discussion: Cognitive-behavioral therapy could significantly change early manipulative schema in spouses of veterans with PTSD
Machine summary:
According to a few research evidence of the prevalence of secondary trauma and psychological problems among veterans' wives with PTSD in different countries (Ahmadi & Mokhtari, 2008; Dekel & Solomon, 2007; Klarić et al, 2012; Franciskovic et al, 2007; Abolmaali & Aghaeepour Gavasaraee, 2015; Abolmaali & Kamal, 2015; Solomon, Dekel, Zerach & Horesh, 2009; Renshaw, Rodrigues & Jones, 2008) and taking into account the mentioned earlier treatment and training suggestions, as well as the rigorous empirical evidence on the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral approach about the extensive range of clinical disorders and a variety of psychological problems as well as chronic physical diseases (Thiel et al, 2014; Corey, 2005; Hofmann et al, 2012).
85 (Sadooghi, Aguilar-Vafaie, Rasoulzadeh Tabatabaie & Esfehanian, 2008; Moloodi, Dezhkam, Moutabi & Omidvar, 2010).
But previous research showed that schema based group therapy and schema based training could improve various disorders in veterans' wives (Darien et al, 2013; Hamidpour et al, 2011; Tabatabaei-Bozorgi, Sohrabi, Karimi-Zarchi, 2012; Ghaderi, Kalantari & Mehrabi, 2015; Nazari & Ahmadian, 2014; Jafari et al, 2013; Moosaviasl & Moosavi, 2014; Boden, John, Goldin, Werner, Heimberg & Gross, 2012; Simpson, Morrow, Vreeswijk & Reid, 2010; Skewes, Samson, Simpson & Vreeswijk 2015; Heilemanna, Pietersa, Kehoea & Yanga, 2011).
The results showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy approach, in line with some researches (Azadbakht & Vakili, 2013; Cámara & Calvete, 2012; Ghaderi, Kalantari & Mehrabi, 2015; Hofmann & collegue, 2012) is effective strategy for adjusting of maladaptive schema in women veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, with the symptoms of secondary trauma.
