Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of integrative therapy on feeling of guilt in divorced women aged between 30-40 in Isfahan, Iran. This is a semi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design and a control group.  The statistical population consisted of divorced women aged between 30-40, who have been referred to counseling clinics for treatment. To collect the data, the Guilt Inventory (Kugler & Jones, 1992) was firstly implemented and then was completed by the members of the group after receiving the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 18 through inferential tests (multivariate covariance analysis).  According to the results, there is a significant difference between lowered scores of feeling guilt in the pre-test and post-test of the experimental group compared to the control group. The findings of this study show that the use of group-based approach using Feldman’s integrated therapy has an impact on reducing feeling guilty in divorced women. Overall, the results of this study support the hypothesis that an integrated therapy is effective on reducing feeling of guilt in divorced women.
