Abstract
Introduction
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of schema-therapy and treatment based on acceptance and commitment on rumination and autobiographical memory of patients with depression. This study was quasi-experimental. The statistical population of this study was the people who referred to counseling centers and psychological services in Nowshahr and Chalous in 2019
 
Material and method
Using purposive sampling method, 45 people were selected as a sample and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Data collection tools were Williams and Broadbent (2007) history retrieval retrieval test and Nolen-Hoxma and Moore (2002) ruminant response scale, which were performed by experimental and control groups before the intervention. Schema therapy intervention and acceptance and commitment treatment were applied for the experimental groups and the control group did not receive any intervention. At the end of the interventions, post-test was performed from experimental and control groups.
 
Results
Analysis of data using analysis of covariance showed that there was no difference between the effectiveness of schema therapy and acceptance and commitment-based therapy on rumination in patients with depression (P <0.05), but schema therapy compared to acceptance-commitment therapy in memory History was more effective (P <0.05). Both interventions were effective on rumination and autobiographical memory of patients with depression in the follow-up phase.
 
Conclusion
As a result, it is possible to benefit from schema-based therapy and acceptance and commitment-based therapy for patients with depression.
