Among diabetic women population, 47 patients were selected purposefully and randomly assigned to three groups. Tow experimental groups (CFT- ACT & CBT) received 120 minutes’ sessions of CFT- ACT and CB for10 weeks. The control group did not receive any treatment .Data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance using SPSS-24 software.
Results: The results showed that the scores of experimental group participants in the post test of CFT-ACT and CBT improved significantly compared to the control group in all three components of forgiveness, including reconnection and revenge control, resentment control and realistic understanding (P-value: 0/000). The experimental group of the combined therapeutic model was more effective than the CBT group in the two components of resentment control and realistic understanding.
