| Abstract | Aims One of the consequences of exposure to the ravages of war is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Variety of treatments has presented to help these patients. The target of this paper was to study the effectiveness of emotional schema therapy on cognitive emotion regulation strategies of combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder veterans. Material & Methods In this experimental study with single subject multiple based line method, 6 post-traumatic stress disorder patients were selected through available sampling, matched together and then divided into 3 groups (emotional schema therapy combined with medications, cognitive behavioral therapy combined with medications & medications). Tools of the study were Leahy Emotional Schema Scale (LESS) and the Short Form of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ-18) and the Persian versions of the Impact of Event Scale-Revise (IES-R). Data analysis was done by indexes of effect size, Cohen’s d, process changes, slope and interpretation of ups & downs in charts. Findings Scores of patients who received emotional schema therapy decreased in negative emotional schema (rumination, guilt, uncontrollability) and scores of some positive emotional schema (higher values, acceptance, comprehensibility, and consensus) were increased. In addition, emotional schema therapy increased the scores of some adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (especially acceptance) and decreased some maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (self-blaming, rumination, catastrophizing). Conclusion Emotional schema therapy that directly targets the basic mechanisms of treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is appropriate choice for treatment of this disorder.
