The statistical population of the study included all the obese women with binge eating who referred to counseling clinics in Tehran’s district 2 in 1402. Among these people, 30 people were selected by available sampling and according to the entry and exit criteria; And they were randomly placed in the experimental group and the control group (15 people in each group). The participants completed the Emotional Eating Scale (EES) and the Body Mass Index (BMI) in the pre-test and post-test stages. The experimental group received the Psychotherapy sessions based on Schema therapy mode model in 20 sessions of 60 minutes. Data analysis was done using SPSS-24 software and multivariate analysis of covariance test in compliance with statistical assumptions.
Results: The results of the multivariate covariance test showed that there is a significant difference between the schema therapy mode model group and the control group in a combination of variables of emotional eating and body mass index (F=41.22 and P<0.5). Also, the results of Bonferoni's post hoc test showed that the average of the group receiving the schema therapy mode model program is significantly less than the average of the control group in both the variable of emotional eating and the variable of body mass index (P<0/05).
Conclusion: According to the results of the research, it can be said that the Schema therapy mode model can be an effective treatment for overweightness and emotional eating of obese women with binge eating disorder.
