The main objective of this research was to assess the roles of demographic and mental health variables as predictive variables of abuse among individuals referred to police stations and family courts. 450 individuals were selected through stratified convenience sampling from 49 police stations and the family court in the city of Tehran. The subjects were administered a demographics questionnaire, Spouse abuse questionnaire, and the Symptom Checklist -90- Revised [SCL-90-R]. The data were analyzed through multivariate regression analysis and regression variance analysis. The results revealed that the variables like pregnancy, low age and education, high number of children, addiction, spouse unemployment and psychiatric problems could be considered as predictive variables for experience of various types of abuse [physical, sexual, and emotional]. [P<0.01]. In addition, pregnancy, low age and education, wife's unemployment, and high number of children, are predictive variables for severe spouse abuse.

RESUMO
This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of metacognitive therapy [MCT], fluvoxamine and the combination of MCT with fluvoxamine, in improving thought control strategies and stop signal criteria in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder [OCD]. Twenty one individuals among outpatients with OCD presenting to clinics in Tehran were selected and randomly divided into three groups: metacognitive therapy, fluvoxamine [50-300 mg/d] and combined therapy. All groups received 10 days of treatment. The Thought Control Questionnaire [TCQ] and Stop Signal Questionnaire [SSQ] were administered pre-treatment and post-treatment to all subjects. Kruskal Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and ANCOVA were used to analyze data. In comparison with fluvoxamine, MCT and combined treatment led to significant improvements in worry, self-punishment and reappraisal strategies of thought control and stop signal criteria [p<0.01]. There was no significant difference between MCT and combined therapy. MCT and combined treatment are more effective than fluvoxamine [50-300 mg/d] in improving thought control strategies and stop signal criteria in patients with OCD. Adding medication to MCT does not improve the patients' outcome
