The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Clark and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy parenting training on improving the emotional-behavioral problems of the child with divorced single mothers. The present study was a semi-experimental, pre-test, post-test, and control group. The research population included divorced mothers referred to the psychology and counseling organization centers of the Mashhad, Iran, during May-July 2019. Among them, 66 parents with their children were selected and randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups. Parents with their children in all groups responded to the Achenbach Children's emotional-behavioral problems Questionnaire before intervention (pretest) and immediately after the intervention (posttest). The results showed that there was a significant difference in anxious/depressed and attention problems between parenting skills training based on the Clark approach and Parent-Child Relationship Training based on Acceptance and Commitment approach. The results indicated that training the mothers in two parenting skills training and Parent-Child Relationship Training approaches can improve the emotional-behavioral problems of the child with divorced single mothers. The parenting skills training approach was more effective than control and Parent-Child Relationship Training groups in anxious/depressed and attention problems variables. Finally, it’s possible to conclude that both parenting skills training and Parent-Child Relationship Training are useful interventions in improving the children's negative feelings and beliefs about their parents' divorce and their emotional-behavioral problems, and can also increase positive feelings and attitudes toward parents and their resilience, ultimately leading to increase their compatibility with parental divorce.

本研究的主要目的是比较克拉克和接受与承诺疗法育儿培训对改善离异单身母亲孩子情绪行为问题的有效性。本研究为半实验组、前测组、后测组和对照组。研究人群包括在 2019 年 5 月至 7 月期间转介到伊朗马什哈德心理和咨询组织中心的离异母亲。 其中，选择了 66 名带着孩子的父母，随机分为两个实验组和对照组。在干预前（前测）和干预后（后测），所有组的家长和他们的孩子都对阿亨巴赫儿童情绪行为问题问卷做出了回应。结果表明，基于克拉克方法的育儿技能培训和基于接受和承诺方法的亲子关系培训在焦虑/抑郁和注意力问题上存在显着差异。结果表明，对母亲进行育儿技巧训练和亲子关系训练两种方式的训练，可以改善离异单身母亲孩子的情绪行为问题。在焦虑/抑郁和注意力问题变量中，育儿技能培训方法比控制组和亲子关系培训组更有效。最后，可以得出结论，育儿技巧培训和亲子关系培训都是改善孩子的有用干预措施。
