Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of a group ‎program based on the theory of family cognitive behavioral ‎therapy in improving self-differentiation and reducing ‎hierarchical ambiguity among women working in the medical ‎field. In order to achieve the study objectives, the researcher ‎selected a sample of females working in the medical fiele in ‎Amman with a total of (18) women who were divided into two ‎groups ;the experimental group (n=9) and the control group ‎‎(n=9). Two scales were developed; one for self-differentiation ‎and the other for hierarchical ambiguity, in addition to a ‎psychological intervention program based on cognitive ‎behavioral therapy. After applying the program on the ‎individuals of the experimental group, the results showed that ‎the experimental group improved in self-differentiation and ‎witnessed a statistically significant decline in hierarchical ‎ambiguity in comparison with the control group. Improvement ‎continued among the individuals of the experimental group after ‎one month of follow-up. Based on the results, the study ‎recommended the necessity of taking care of women in the mid-‎life period as well as designing guidance programs for them, ‎particularly those working in the medical field.‎ ‎(Keywords: Family cognitive behavioral therapy, Self-‎differentiation, Hierarchical ambiguity, Women in the medical ‎fields)‎
