Abstract
Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome is a type of digestive dysfunction characterized by chronic abdominal pain and changes in bowel movements and is somehow related to psychological factors. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of emotional-focused therapy in the difficulty of emotional regulation and the severity of symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)..
Material & Methods: in this study, a pretest-post-test, quasi-experimental method with a control group was used. The statistical population of the present study was all patients with IBS referred to specialized and subspecialty centers of hospitals and clinics in Arak in the spring of 2023, of whom 30 eligible people volunteered to participate in the research. They were selected by purposeful sampling. The participants in the research completed the difficulty of emotion regulation questionnaire and the symptoms of irritable bowel.
Results: The results demonstrated that emotional therapy has an effect on the difficulty of emotion regulation and the severity of symptoms in patients with IBS.
Discussion & Conclusion: Traditional medical management is often unsatisfactory and does not address critical issues. Results suggest that it is essential that psychological treatments target IBS-specific factors for change, including emotion regulation. Therefore, one of the effective treatments for IBS can be emotional therapy.

Abstract
Introduction: Trichotillomania disorder (TTM) is associated with significant psychological distress, social impairment, and a higher prevalence rate than expected in relation to myriad psychological factors. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of psychological training attention techniques on the metacognitions of teenage girls with hair-cutting obsessions.
Materials & Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental one that happened in Arak, Iran, in 2024. Twenty girls in the age range of 15 to 18 years with obsessive-compulsive disorder based on the available sampling method by referring to the psychological clinic. The experimental group received eight attention training sessions. The participants in the research completed the trichotillomania and metacognitive beliefs questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS V.22 and univariate analysis of covariance with a significance level of less than 0.05.
Results: All of the girls in the experimental and control groups were single, between the ages of 15 and 18, and had TTM. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of age or TTM. However, there was a big difference between the groups on the post-test of cognitive uncertainty, the need to control thoughts, positive beliefs about worry, uncontrollability, and the danger of thought (P = 0.001).
Conclusion: Technical training influences positive beliefs about uncontrollability and risk, beliefs about cognitive uncertainty, cognitive self-awareness, and negative beliefs about superstitious thinking, punishment, and responsibility in adolescent girls.
