“…Investigations indicate that the use of positive psychotherapy programs can have a positive impact on mental health and related variables for families of children with special needs. In this context, research by Rostampour Baranjastanki, Abbasi, and Mirzaeian (2022) showed significant effectiveness of positive psychotherapy on caregiver stress and self-criticism in mothers of children with mild intellectual disabilities (Rostampour Brenjestanaki, 2022); Siadatiyan Arani, Ashouri, Faramarzi, Norouzi, and Spencer (2021) on the positive impact of positive psychotherapy on forgiveness and happiness orientations in mothers of deaf teenagers (Siadatian Arani, 2021); Pouriyahi, Nazarpour, Malekzadeh Turkmani, and Davarniya (2020) on the significant impact of positive psychotherapy on the happiness of mothers of children with Down syndrome (Pouryahya, 2020) 2018) on the impact of positive psychotherapy on psychological well-being and psychological resilience in mothers of children with special needs (Aghajani, 2018); Khanjani and Rezaei (2016) on the beneficial effects of positive psychotherapy on psychological well-being, positive emotions, and the reduction of negative emotions in mothers of children with autism (Khanjani, 2016); Khodadadi Sangdeh, Tolaian, and Belgan Abadi (2014) on the effectiveness of group positive psychotherapy in increasing happiness in mothers of children with special needs (Khodadadi Sangdeh, 2021); and Gholami Heidariabadi, Nowabi Nejad, Shafie Abadi, and Delavar (2013) on the effectiveness of reality therapy and positivity in increasing resilience in mothers of blind children (Gholami Heidarabadi, 2013). In contrast, results from the research by Nili, Kazemi, and Amiri (2019) indicated no effectiveness of positive training on irrational beliefs and happiness in mothers of deaf children (Nili, 2019).…”
