Objective: Spiritual therapy is recognized as an effective treatment for most psychological problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of group spiritual therapy on resilience and coping styles of families of addicts who are quitting drugs. Method: The reasech method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test and a control group design. The statistical population included all families of addicts who were quitting in a camp in Shahrekord city for a period of 3 months in 2020. The statistical sample consisted of 30 families of these addicts who were selected through the purposeful sampling method and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The instruments used in this study were the Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Moss and Billings Coping Styles Questionnaire. Spiritual group therapy was held in 11 sessions of 90 minutes for a month and a half for the experimental group. The collected data were analyzed by covariance analysis using SPSS-21 software. Results: The results showed that group spiritual therapy increased resilience (p≤0.001) and using problem-focused coping style (p≤0.001), and decreased using emotion-focused coping style (p≤0.001) in the family of addicts quitting drugs in the experimental group. Conclusion: The results indicated that spiritual group therapy can explain the high rate of change related to resilience and coping styles of families of addicts seeking treatment.

A B S T R A C TObjective: Depressive mood along with boredom and unhappiness is one of the main consequences of addiction treatment and investigating the reduction strategies is of absolute and sheer necessity. The present research aims to investigate the effectiveness of problem solving training program in happiness and coping style of individuals suffering from drug abuse. Methods: Therefore, in a semi-experimental study, the addicted individuals having low rate of happiness (N=36) were selected through random cluster multi-stratified sampling and assigned into the experimental and control groups. Both groups were measured by Oxford Happiness Inventory and Coping Styles Questionnaire and the experimental group underwent problem solving skills training. Results: the results of covariance analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, variance analysis with repeated measure and t-test indicated that, happiness level (Eta square=.24) and coping style (Eta square=.31) of the experimental group has increased and there is between-group difference in three stages of intervention at 99% of significant level. It can also be concluded that, there is significant relationship between rational coping style (.57), detached coping style (.47) and the increase of happiness in subjects. Moreover, there is significant and negative relationship between emotional coping style (-.41), avoidance coping style (-.35) and the decrease of happiness among the subjects. Increased rate of happiness and rational coping skills were observed in the experimental group. The more the individual uses rational and detached styles, the more his/her happiness is and the more s/he uses emotional and avoidance coping styles, the less her/his happiness is.
