This is quasi-experimental study with pre-test , post-test, two months follow-up stage ,and control group. The study statistical population included all the women with panic attack disorder who referred to on of the Psychiatric Hospital in Tehran for outpatient treatment during 2017. A sample of 45 participants were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into two experimental groups for treatments and one control group, having 15 women in each group. Both two experiments were under treatment individually within 11 sessions of 90-minutes , twice a week. while the control group received no treatment. Cognitive distortion scale (1389) and panic belief inventory (1989) were administered before treatment, the end of treatment sessions and after two months. Data were analyzed using Analysis of variance with repeated measure and univariate covariance analysis. The results showed that both EST and MBCT methods was impressive on cognitive distortion of women with panic attack disorder and decreased cognitive distortion in two experimental groups, but there was not significant difference in the efficacy of the two treatments. Also, the difference between post-test and follow-up was not significant .Therefore , these two therapies can be used to decrease cognitive distortions.
