Background & Aims: Violence against women causes pain and suffering to the victims and their families and puts a burden on societies all over the world, which often happens in intimate relationships or between acquaintances. According to the report of the World Bank, domestic violence causes the loss of health of women aged 15-44 more than diseases such as breast and uterine cancer. World Health Organization statistics show that 16 to 25 percent of women are abused by their partners, and 28 percent of women in developed countries and 18 to 67 percent of women in developing countries are abused at least once. They have reported a body. Violence against women means any act of violence based on gender that causes or is likely to cause psychological, physical, suffering and harassment, and deprivation of women's freedom in public and private life. Prolonged exposure to life-threatening incidents, including domestic violence, is associated with the onset, continuation, and recurrence of mental disorders, and men and women with psychiatric disorders are at greater risk for Experiences are violent. Since domestic violence has many negative consequences, including physical consequences such as injury and psychological consequences such as depression, fear, anxiety, sexual disorders, and obsession, therefore, the lack of psychological security can be one of the consequences of domestic violence against women. Psychotherapy approaches such as emotion-oriented therapy approach are effective in treating marital disturbances; therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy on the feeling of psychological security and its components in women involved in domestic violence.
Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with a post-test-pre-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research consisted of all women involved in domestic violence who referred to the forensic medicine of Kashmar city in the first half of 2014. Some 40 women involved in domestic violence were selected as the sample of the study by available sampling method and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups (20 people in each group). The experimental group underwent emotion-focused therapy for 8 sessions (one hour each session for 4 weeks) and the control group did not receive any intervention. The research tool was Maslow's (2004) Sense of Psychological Security questionnaire, completed by the subjects in the pre-test and post-test. The collected information was analyzed using SPSS-24 software and covariance analysis.

The adjusted averages of the post-test scores of the research variables are shown in Table No. 7. According to the observable findings in the covariance analysis test (Table 6) and the table of adjusted averages (Table No. 7), it is concluded that the emotion-focused intervention on the feeling of psychological security and its subscales in the women involved Domestic violence has been effective.
Conclusion: The results of this research showed that emotion-focused intervention has a positive and significant effect on the feeling of psychological security and its subscales in women involved in domestic violence. These findings indicate that focusing on emotions and regulating them can help to strengthen self-confidence, increase the feeling of satisfaction, improve environmental adaptation, and promote the positive attitude of others towards the individual. Emotion-focused group therapy is a short-term structured approach that focuses on communication disorders and inconsistencies and encourages people to talk about their emotions and discuss them. From the point of view of treatment focused on emotion, emotional tensions of people are created and continued by pervasive states of negative emotions and attachment injuries. Also, in explaining these results, it can be said that during emotion-focused therapy, people learn to express their feelings, thoughts, and oppositions honestly, in an appropriate manner and respecting the rights of others, aware of their emotions. People with a lack of psychological security in their interpersonal relationships with their spouses tend to show more negative and vulnerable communication, and when people try to solve the problem, they express the lowest level of empathy. This type of negative relationship reduces the use of constructive problem-solving strategies, therefore emotion-focused therapy through solving emotional and emotional problems improves constructive interactions and naturally increases the use of constructive self-expression strategies in people. An emotion-focused therapy group has been created to improve and balance emotions and relationships between people. The goal of group therapy focused on emotion is to help people adapt more appropriately to current problems and learn more effective communication methods.
