Objective: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was originally developed to treat individuals with pervasive emotion dysregulation. Then it developed its approach in other disorders such as obesity. This research aims to found out the efficacy of DBT in the reduction of negative emotions (anxiety, depression, and anger) with weight loss in obese women with different reasons for obesity. Methods: The population of this quasi-experimental study consisted of 56 obese women with a body mass index more than 29.9 kg/m2. Descriptive statistics were computed for demographic information and self-report questionnaire. Anger, Anxiety and,, Depression are three subscales of feelings that were tested by the 25 items of Emotional Eating Scale that was developed by Arnow, Kenardy and Agras in 1994. Results: The results demonstrated that negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, and depression, significantly (ρ-value<0.001) decrease in obese women by weight loss during the time. Mixed-effect modeling ANOVA repeated measurements were performed to study changes in variables over time.Conclusions: The results of the present study show that DBT-skills can be effective in decreasing emotion dysregulations and Body Mass Index (BMI).

Objectives: Diabetes is a chronic, multifaceted and threatening disease which has significant psychologicalcomplications. The purpose of this study was comparing the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills Training (DBT-ST) on cognitive emotion regulation in patients with typeII diabetes.Method: The design of this quasi-experimental research was a pretest-posttest with a control group. The statisticalpopulation of the study included all patients with type II diabetes referred to Baghban (Touba) Medical Clinic inSari in 2019, among whom 45 patients were selected through the convenience sampling method and then randomlyassigned into three groups. The first group received ACT, the second group received DBT-ST, and the third group was considered as a control group. Data were collected using a 36-item Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(Garnefsky et al., 2001) in three stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, and were analyzed by repeated measurementvariance analysis.Results: The results showed that ACT and DBT-ST were significantly more effective on cognitive emotion regulationfor the experimental groups compared to the control group (effect sizes 0.911 & 0.967, respectively). The effectivenessof DBT-ST compared to ACT was more significant on cognitive emotion regulation scores (effect sizes 0.967) at(P>0.01).Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that ACT improved psychological indexes andmental health of patients with type II diabetes due to acceptance of unfavorable emotions and thoughts, commitment,and DBT-ST for emotion regulation and mindfulness components
