1. Introduction

This allows the couple's marital relationship with each other to discuss and exchange ideas, solve their problems and needs are well aware. Warm and intimate interpersonal relationships in family life interactions that give rise to the development of individuals, including the objectives and requirements of marriage. However, there is evidence that couples severe learning difficulties in maintaining romantic relationships and intimate experience (Hamidi, 2008). And the lack of romantic relationships caused marital relations. Betrayed and infidelity at first glance an individual phenomenon, it seems, but considering the consequences and the adverse consequences that the family and the education of children and the health and safety of the disorder and confusion, it should be such a problem. And very serious social problems hidden from them. Lack of accurate statistics and social problems in our country as the problem was not a lack of attention to the social damage shows. A phenomenon that often resolve marital infidelity because emotional or sexual needs person through relationships outside of marriage, occur. When individual needs, by a person of the opposite sex goes away, so the person creates a feeling of satisfaction, that her risk of having a secret relationship with that person to die crushed. (Harley and Chalmers, translated by Husseini and the Aram, 2011). One consequence that extramarital relationships were observed and reported in people betrayed the fear of negative evaluation of this group of individuals. Fear of negative evaluation by others is one of the anxiety disorders. The people of humiliation and embarrassment in social situations, such as dialogue among greatly afraid. This may include fear, worry, and anxiety symptoms, such as shaking and sweating blush (Mahmoudi et al. 2010). Children with ADHD often frightening to social situations in the face and even after the confrontation rumination about the lack of success and how to see through the eyes of others, and this perpetuates anxiety, mental ruminations on them. While avoiding the feared situation in anxiety disorders lead to failure in discovering items that are not dangerous. As well as more subtle forms of behavior, protection in patients with social phobia such as avoidance of disclosure against an opponent to negative bias the reaction of others and this leads to a vicious negative social reaction to (Mahmoudi et al. 2010). Extramarital relationship, so far, from different aspects have been studied in this regard, various studies have shown that family and they usually function impaired (Modaresi, Zahedian, 2010; Sharifi, Haji Heydari jazayeri, 2015). However Imago Therapy approaches, including approaches to increase and deal with problems with intimacy couples and improving communication patterns used in this research, including Etemadi, Navabinejad, Ahmadi, and Valiollah (2005). That the effect of therapy by Imago Therapy on increasing intimacy, Bayat, (2007), which examines the impact of Imago Therapy (image link) on the styles of loving couples; Taie, Nessi, and Attari, (2012), which examines the effectiveness of group training Imago Therapy the attitude of love, can be noted. Hendrix Imago Therapy a short-term treatment approach that combines insights and practical skills. It couples the unconscious aspects of their relations and the contradictions they teach and help people to instead try to problems superficially solve it more accurately evaluate changes better in their own relationships. This will be successful in recovery, growth and emotional security than others. (Lipsrot, 2003). The aim of Imago Therapy is that our conscious mind, the subconscious mind aligned itself with the guidelines and that helps clients consciously relations, sincere and committed to develop. The transfer process cannot happen solely through conscious. Special skills and processes is necessary, daily practice is required to make a conscious relationship to the unconscious. (Hendrix and Hunt, 1997; translation of Ebrahimi, 2005). In the treatment of fear of negative evaluation, both medical treatment and psychological treatment is used, one of these therapies can be Imago Therapy . Imago Therapy of marital therapy and individual training to help couples better understand the effect on marital relations Imago Therapy uses. As an initial intervention by the therapist to restore the marital relationship is done. No studies have been conducted on Imago Therapy control. But some support from comparing the pre-treatment and post-treatment control groups that did not use (Etemadi, 2005). In general, it can be concluded that fear of negative evaluation betrayed spouses, including the factors that have an important role in their divorce. However, research results indicate a negative assessment of the impact of Imago Therapy and their divorce is in question, but research has evaluated the role of fear of negative impact on Imago Therapy in people who have not studied the divorce. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of Imago Therapy on fear of negative evaluation betrayed couples divorce Shiraz.

4. Discussion and Conclusions

As stated aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Imago Therapy on fear of negative evaluation in the couple's divorce was infidelity. The results showed that the total score improved training Imago Therapy in fear of negative evaluation has a significant influence. These results are in line with Khosh Sirat studies (1393); Own, Zhods and Estanley (2013); Agataglo (2013); Mosaed, Taleb (2008). Taie, Nissi, Attari (2012) is. Perhaps only those who have betrayed wife touched to know that the arrival of a competitor in marriage how it tastes. When two people love close ally and swear the soul is one, but in the middle of one Treaty to kick back and forget all the promises he made his way separated from his wife, Starting emotional storm that resulted in the collapse of the foundation of life. Infidelity may cause severe psychological damage is betrayed wife. Depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, loss of self-esteem, self-blame and self-damaging actions (including suicide), including the consequences are. You may be betrayed to take revenge on the opposite side (the wife and her partner) to act, and this act will have serious consequences. This person may also lose confidence in any relationship. Even in the process of treatment and re-establish trust, Back confidence generally long and difficult and may not be complete. On the other hand, the treacherous victims of their behavior even if not betrayal, guilt and self-blame is one of betrayal. Constantly trying to keep the relationship secret illegal, stress and anxiety are gradually replacing the initial pleasure, and if the relationship is revealed, the more serious the crisis will occur. One of the important factors that are discussed fear of negative evaluation of the betrayed is fear that if forgiveness from his side takes one betrayed either positively or negatively to him that this would be some people betrayed separation thoughts arise. This Eschlenger (1980) show that all people evaluate other inappropriate as a retardants interpersonal and its reflection in a range of social phenomena, psychological, such as expression, behavior, pro-social, self-handicapping and social anxiety is considerable. Social phobia is an intense fear of evaluation by others and avoid these situations is determined. The prediction of negative evaluation by others about their performance, produce more anxiety the components of the physiological, cognitive and behavioral, mental impression of the appearance or behavior of a person viewed by others that affect And the cycle is repeated again. Structural fear of negative evaluation, covering areas such thoughts, expectations and challenge the negative social behavior is shameful and so reduce the treatment process can be one of the indicators of good for the recovery of a person with social anxiety disorder is (Collins, Vestra, Dozoys and Stewart 2005; Vikso et al., 2005). This improvement can increase the bounty on the people betrayed the results obtained in this study, represents this would be.
