AIM: The present study was carried out with the aim of assigning the effectiveness of intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy on affection control of anxious women who referred to Consultation Centers in Esfahan. METHODS: The research method was quasi-experimental and with pretest–posttest using control group. Statistical population of this study included anxious women who had referred to Aban, Aeein, and Milad-e Noor Consultation Centers in Esfahan in 2016. Among them, 30 persons were selected through convenience sampling and were divided randomly in two control and experimental groups (each included 15 persons). The experimental group attended 15 dynamic psychotherapy sessions that each session lasted 60 min. None of the members of control group attend dynamic psychotherapy sessions. The instruments of the study included Zung's Self-rating Anxiety and Williams's Affection Control Scale. The data collected from scales were analyzed by covariance analysis and using the SPSS-23 software. FINDINGS: The results showed that intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy increased the score of affection control in anxious women (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Considering the results and findings, we conclude that intervention of intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy improves and controls affections in women.
