According to the inclusion criteria، 32 people were finally selected and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (16 for the experimental group and 16 for the control group). Schematic therapy sessions were based on Hemmat Sabet، Navabi Nejad and Khalatbari (2016) schema therapy protocol، which was about 8 therapy sessions.

Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) test was used to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. Meanwhile، the significance level in this study was set at 0.05. The results of analysis of covariance showed that the treatment scheme was effective on tolerating distress and emotional divorce.
