pretest was taken from the experimental group and control group. Then, four sessions, which were
1 h were held for the experimental group. Finally, a posttest was taken from these two groups. Data
were analyzed with the analysis of covariance. Result: Findings showed that narrative therapy had a
statistically significant effect on the mental health of addicts’ wives treated in the addiction treatment
centers in Khomeini Shahr and increased their mental health (F = 8.96, P < 0.05). Conclusion: As a
result, the narrative therapy approach is a change in their mental health for addressing consumers’
wives tales about their position, family, and wife.
