Then they were randomly assigned to two experimental and one control groups (each with 15 participants). Experimental groups participated in psychological empowerment therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). To measure the dependent variable of infertility Stress, Infertility Stress Inventory (Newton et al., 1999) was administered to three groups in three research phases. The data were analyzed using the repeated measures ANOVA and through SPSS version: 24.
