description The objective of the current study was to examine the effectiveness of positivist psychotherapy in enhancing the perfectionism and psychological coherence in married, childless women. The study was quasi-experimental in nature, utilizing the control group method, pre-test, and post-test. The statistical population of the research consisted of married women who were childless and residing in the city of Isfahan during the spring of 2022. The purposive sampling method was employed to select thirty-five married women who were infertile. The women were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups, with 18 women in the experimental group and 17 in the control group. Ten ninety-minute sessions of positivist psychotherapy were administered to the women in the experimental group over a period of two and a half months. The applied questionnaires in the study included Perfectionism Questionnaire (PQ) and Psychological Coherence Questionnaire (PCQ) were implemented in the investigation. The SPSS23 software was used to analyze the data from the study using a mixed ANOVA and post hoc Bonferroni test. The results showed that positivist psychotherapy has significant effect on the perfectionism (F=60.20; Eta=0.64; P<0.0001) and psychological coherence (F=39.66; Eta=0.54; P<0.0001) of married childless women. According to the findings of the study it can be concluded that positivist psychotherapy can be used as an efficient method to decrease perfectionism and improve psychological coherence of married childless women through employing techniques such as positive vision toward the life, training optimism and hope to the future.
