Purpose: The present study was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of schema therapy on ambivalence in emotional expression, self-differentiation, subjectivity and sensitivity to rejection in patients with borderline personality disorder in Shiraz city in 1401.Methodology: The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with control and follow-up groups. The statistical population of the research was made up of all people with borderline personality disorder who referred to counseling centers in Shiraz, and among them, 50 people were randomly selected in the experimental group (25 people in each group) and the control group ( 25 people) were appointed. The experimental group was trained in 12 sessions of 60 minutes using schema therapy, and the control group remained on the waiting list. The tools used in this research include borderline personality questionnaire (Claridge and Brooks, 1984), ambivalence in emotional expression (King and Emmons, 1990), self-differentiation (Skorn and Friedlander, 1998), mentalization (Fonagy, 1991) and sensitivity to rejection. (Downey and Feldman, 1996).Findings: The analysis of the information obtained from the implementation of the questionnaire was done in two descriptive and inferential sections (variance analysis with repeated measurements). The results showed that schema therapy training has an effect on the components of ambivalence in emotional expression (positive emotion expression, intimacy expression and negative emotion expression) of people with borderline personality disorder. Schema therapy training has an effect on self-differentiation and its components (emotional reactivity, my place, lack of emotional escape and integration with others) in people with borderline personality disorder. Schema therapy training has an effect on the mentalization of people with borderline personality disorder. The results showed that schema therapy training has an effect on sensitivity to rejection in people with borderline personality disorder. In this way, this treatment has been able to increase self-differentiation and mentalization of patients with borderline personality disorder and reduce negative emotional expression and sensitivity to rejection.Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study, schema therapy can be suggested as an effective method to increase self-differentiation and mentalization and reduce negative emotional expression and sensitivity to rejection in patients with borderline personality disorder.

From the beginning of creation and creation of human communities until today, many dangers have threatened people's lives. Some of these risks leave such an economic impact and bring the level of livelihood to its lowest level that causes governments to feel responsible towards the victims and organize their efforts to manage these risks. The declaration of such responsibility by governments and the creation of social insurance cause such risks to take on a social color. Although examples of social risks, which can be classified into three categories of risks arising from professional life, physical risks and risks arising from family formation, have been identified in many legal systems, but the concept of social risk is still neglected. Acceptance of the opposite of risk raises the idea that when a person implicitly or explicitly accepts the risk of harm caused by another party, he cannot demand damages from the causer of the harm due to the harm caused. Countering the risk is a one-sided legal act that affects the ability to assign fault to the defendant, and is an absolver of fault or an obstacle to guarantee. In Iranian law, the theory of conflict of risk is not accepted, but this theory is widely used in society.

Purpose: The forced labor for children has negative cognitive, social and emotional consequences. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of teaching choice theory and inquiry philosophy on social competence and goal orientation of labor children.Methodology: The current research was a semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The research population was the labor children of Rasht city in 2021 year. A number of 45 labor children were selected as a sample with using the available sampling method and were assigned in three equal groups by a simple random method with lottery, including the groups of teaching choice theory, teaching inquiry philosophy and control. The first experimental group received 8 sessions of teaching choice theory and the second experimental group received 10 sessions of teaching inquiry philosophy, and the control group did not receive any teaching. The research tools were included questionnaires of social competence (Felner, 2002) and goal orientation (Midgley et al., 1998) and its resulting data were analyzed by methods of univariate and multivariate covariance analysis and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS software.Findings: The findings showed that teaching in both experimental groups in compared the control group led to increase social competence and goal orientation of tendency-mastery, avoidance-mastery, and tendency- performance in labor children (P<0.05), but there was no significance difference between them in the goal orientation of avoidance-performance (P>0.05). Also, there was no significant difference between the experimental groups of teaching choice theory and inquiry philosophy in terms of any of the variables of social competence and goal orientation (P>0.05).Conclusion: According to the results, to improve the social competence and goal orientation of labor children, it is possible to use the teaching methods of choice theory and inquiry philosophy.
