The present study is an applied and semi-experimental study conducted to compare the effectiveness of group training based on schema therapy and imago therapy on improving attachment styles and emotional styles of couples. The statistical population includes couples who had referred to Razi Counseling Center in Karaj in the winter of 2018. The sampling was available and purposeful and included 45 women and men who met the necessary conditions to enter the sessions. Then, 15 people were randomly assigned to experimental group 1 (schema therapy), 15 people to experimental group 2 (imago therapy), and another 15 people to the control group. Hazen and Shaver (1978), Hoffman and Kashdan (2010) questionnaires were used to collect information. The results showed that there is a difference between the effectiveness of group training based on schema therapy and imago therapy on attachment styles of couples, so schema therapy has a greater effect on attachment styles. There is also a difference between the effectiveness of group training based on schema therapy and imago therapy on couples' attachment styles, so imago therapy has a greater effect on emotional styles.
