Introduction: Family breakdown is an important social issue and "emotional divorce" is a determining factor in this phenomenon. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of "Schema Therapy" and “Emotionally Focused Therapy” on the emotional divorce of couples.
Methods: The study method was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test and follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population included couples who referred to the Delphi Clinic in Tehran with complaints of marital conflicts in the summer and fall of 2023. Among them, 30 people were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to the intervention group and the control group. Research instruments included demographic questionnaire and "Emotional Divorce Questionnaire". Content validity of the instrument was measured by qualitative method and reliability by internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. After implementing 12 sessions of "Schema Therapy" and 12 sessions of "Emotionally Focused Therapy" for the intervention groups, the data were analyzed in SPSS. 24.
Results: "Schema Therapy" and “Emotionally Focused Therapy” in the intervention groups reduced emotional divorce compared to the control group (P=0.018). The mean of emotional divorce during the study period showed a significant difference between the "Schema Therapy" and “Emotionally Focused Therapy” and the control group (P=0.001). The mean of emotional divorce between "Schema Therapy" and "Emotionally Focused Therapy" groups did not show a significant difference (P=1.000).
Conclusions: The both "Schema Therapy" and "Emotionally Focused Therapy" are effective on emotional divorce in couples, and there is no difference between the effectiveness of "Schema Therapy" and "Emotionally Focused Therapy" on emotional divorce. It is suggested to include the above 2 methods in couples and family therapy training programs.
