The studied community included all couples with marital dissatisfaction who referred to the psychological clinic of Tankabon, Iran, to solve their problems; And the research sample included 45 couples who were selected by purposeful sampling and were randomly divided into three experimental groups: 1 (15 couples), 2 (15 couples) and control (15 couples). The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of teaching emotion management strategies based on emotion-oriented couple therapy (EFT) and schema-based couple therapy on communication patterns of couples. The collected data were analyzed using ANOVA, Shapiro-Wilk, Lunn, Bonferroni and Greenhouse tests.

Results: The results indicated that training emotion management strategies based on emotion-oriented couple therapy (EFT) and schema-based couple therapy increased communication patterns compared to the control group (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the effectiveness of teaching emotion management strategies based on emotion-oriented couple therapy (EFT) and schema-based couple therapy on communication patterns of couples in the post-test and follow-up stages (P<0.05).
