In order to carry out the research, 30 people from the aforementioned community were selected by the available method and randomly divided into experimental group and control group (15 people in each group). Therapeutic intervention was performed for 8 sessions on the experimental group and no training was provided to the control group. The tools used in this research are the 26-item EAT questionnaire (Garner and Kerfinkel, 1982) with 26 items for the eating disorder scale, the 21-item DASS questionnaire (DASS) of Lavibond with 21 items for the psychological distress scale, the questionnaire (Russell, Pilova and Cortona, 1980) It was with 20 items for the social isolation scale, which was completed in two phases: pre-test, post-test and follow-up.
