| Obsessive beliefs: Obsessive beliefs are intrusive thoughts and actions that are always repetitive and annoying and cause time wasting, creating problems in the natural process of life, and disrupting the individual's relationships with others. In this study, obsessive beliefs are the score that subjects obtain from answering the Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire, Child and Adolescent Version (OBQ-CV). Timepoint: People in the experimental group will participate in training courses for about 1 month and will receive a cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention based on the new technology protocol of Stekati et al. once a week (10 sessions, 70 minutes each). Method of measurement: Measurement tools will include: Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Scale for Children (Goodman et al., 1986), Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire Child and Adolescent Version (OBQ-CV) (Shojaei et al., 2017), and Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire (Dennis et al., 2010).;Cognitive flexibility: Cognitive flexibility is one of the important factors in social interactions and is defined as a dynamic process that is responsible for creating a positive adaptation of an individual to the environment, such that a flexible individual is able to adapt to changing environmental stimuli despite adverse or traumatic experiences. Cognitive flexibility represents the human ability to adapt to cognitive strategies in the face of unwanted and new conditions in the environment. In this study, cognitive flexibility refers to the score that subjects obtain from responding to the cognitive flexibility questionnaire of Dennis et al. (2010).
