Objectives: Dysmorphic disorders of the body are one of the most common abnormalities in women with breast cancer. Women with this disorder seem to be over-represented, which affects their individual and social life. In this regard, the present study aims at assessing the effectiveness of group psychotherapy based on admission and commitment to the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder of Body Dysmorphic Disorder in women with breast cancer.
Methods: The present study is a quasi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design with the control group. For this purpose, 30 patients with breast cancer, who were referred to Khansari and Shariati Hospitals in Arak in 2016, were selected through convenience sampling method; they were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups (15 patients in each group). This study used a correctional scale for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder); the experimental group was treated for 8 sessions (each session 60 minutes), but no intervention was received in the control group. For data analysis, descriptive and deductive statistics were used to analyze covariance.
Results: The results of covariance analysis showed a significant difference between the two groups in improving the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder of the body during the post-test (F=16.53, P<0.0001) and follow-up (F=11.56, P=002) stages.
Discussion: Acceptance and commitment therapy can be effective in recovering the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder of women with breast cancer.

Plain Language Summary
Among all types of cancer, breast cancer is the most common among women and is the second leading cause of death in women aged 35-55 years old. The same changes result in unpleasant thoughts and feelings about their bodies that eventually develop obsessive-compulsive disorder in their bodies. Body dysmorphic disorder is a seriously debilitating disorder that is often difficult to treat and most women suffer from the disease. The present study is a quasi-experimental research with a pre-test; post-test; follow-up design with the control group; the aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy-based treatment to obsessive-compulsive disorder in women with breast cancer in 2016. Of these, 30 patients were selected by convenience sampling method; they were randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups (15 patients in each group). The experimental group received 8 sessions (each session 60 minutes) undergoing acceptance and commitment books of Hayes et al. The results of this study showed that acceptance and commitment therapy reduced physical dissatisfaction and fear of evaluating the negation of the experimental group compared to the control group in the post-test stage.
