Methods: A sample of 354 remitted depressed subjects recruited through community advertisement and clinical practices of psychiatrists and psychotherapists were randomly assigned to mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and treatment as usual groups. The mean age of the patients was 39.1 years, and they had an average of 2.19 episodes of previous depressions. Most patients were either married (50.8%) or single (41.0%). A lot of them were unemployed (60.7%), but nearly a third completed high school (35.6%) and half of them at least some post-secondary education (51.1%). Patients were assessed through the structured clinical interview for DSM-IV disorders (SCID) to be ensured of their fully recovered from their most recent episode of depression. Then, they were randomly assigned to 3 groups and assessed repeatedly through self-report measures, including brief symptoms inventory, and Beck depression inventory. Results: In this paper, the ancillary benefits of MBCT and CBT were explored. Results showed that in two active groups besides decrease in the rates of clinical depression, significant and lasting decreases in a range of other symptom scores of the brief symptom inventory occurred. These results suggest the benefits of the interventions in prevention programs for depression.

Methods: The data were obtained from a total of 192 married Iranian women who were selected via multi-cluster sampling method from universities of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Tarbiat Modares, and Islamic Azad. The subjects’ sociodemographic data, attachment styles (adult attachment styles index), marital satisfaction (ENRICH marital satisfaction questionnaire), sex guilt (Mosher revised sex-guilt inventory), and sexual desire (Hurlbert index of sexual desire) were collected. Results: Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings showed that there is a significant relationship between sexual desire and secure attachment style (r=0.283, P<0.01), insecure-avoidant attachment style (r=-0.321, P<0.01), insecure-ambivalent attachment style (r=0.144, P<0.05), marital satisfaction (r=0.512, P<0.01), and sex guilt (r=-0.442, P<0.01). There was also a significant negative relationship between sexual desire and age (r=-0.553, P<0.01) and marriage duration (r=-0.349, P<0.01). Age, marital satisfaction, ambivalent attachment style, and sex guilt could collectively explain 52.5% of the sexual desire variance.
