Abstract                                                             

Background and Purpose: Several psychological treatments were considered for reducing mood problems and modifying maladaptive schemas, and schema therapy is one of these treatments. The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of schema therapy on modifying the first maladaptive schemas and reducing mood syndrome in patients with skin psychosomatic disorder.

Materials and methods: The research method was semi-experimental with the control and evaluation group as pre-test and post-test. The statistical population of the study consisted of all individuals with mental disorder in the city of Naghade in 1395. The available sampling method was 36 people and randomly assigned to either experimental (18 subjects) or control (18 persons). The experimental group received 11 sessions of schema therapy once a week, and the control group remained without any intervention. To collect information in pre-test and post-test, standard questionnaires were used for positive and negative, and Yang's early maladaptive schemas. The research data were analyzed by ANOVA.

Results: The findings showed that schema therapy significantly reduced the scores of all maladaptive schemas. It also increases the positive mood and decreases the negative mood in people with psychosomatic disorders (p <0.01).

Conclusion: It can be said that the schema therapy is effective in correcting the initial maladaptive schemes and reducing the symptoms of mood disorders in psychosocial disorders of the skin.
