The combined effectiveness of treatment based on acceptance and commitment and behavioral activation on anxiety and practical obsessions of schizophrenic patients; A case study *Nazila Sahandpour Master of Clinical Psychology, Qaemshar, Iran Email:Nazilasahandpour53@gmail.com Roshanak Khodabakhsh Pirklani Department of Psychology, Faculty of Education and Psychology AlZahra University, Tehran, Iran Abstract Introduction: Obsessive compulsive behaviors and severe anxiety are the unfavorable symptoms in people with schizophrenia. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of the integrated treatment approach based on acceptance and commitment and behavioral activation on anxiety and compulsive symptoms of a chronic schizophrenic patient. Method: Among the target population (chronic psychotic patients), an adult male chronic schizophrenic subject was selected based on available sampling and was examined in the framework of a single-case experimental design in the form of a multiple baseline during 8 sessions. The tools used in this research were semi-structured clinical interview, Beck's anxiety questionnaire and Maudsley’s practical obsessive-compulsive questionnaire. Results: At the end of 8 sessions of acceptance and commitment with behavioral activation, the test results showed that the anxiety score decreased by 62% and the compulsion score decreased by 75%. Conclusion: The combination of two treatment methods based on acceptance and commitment and behavioral activation can be effective on the anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms of chronic schizophrenia patients.
