Abstract
Objective: Nowadays, the third wave psycho-therapy treatments emphasize on acceptance, awareness of feelings, cognitive abilities, emotions and behaviors, rather than challenging the knowledge. For this reason, the current study aimed to investigate the acceptance-based training on and commitment on depression among the disabled who referred to the Welfare Organization in the city of Darreh Shahr.Methods: In this study which is considered a semi-empirical activity of the type of pre-test and post-test with control group, the sample was selected through a purposive sampling from among the patients who referred to the Social Welfare Center in Darreh Shahr. They were tested using Beck Depression Inventory, of which 30 people were selected and assigned to experimental and control groups (15 people). The experimental group was trained by independent variable (Project of Acceptance Treatment and Commitment) while the control group did not receive any treatment. In the post-test process, Beck Depression Inventory was performed on both groups once again and the data were analyzed using analysis of covariance.Findings: Using analysis of covariance and Galmogrov Smirnov-Shapirov tests by a factor of (P> 0,05), the effect of acceptance treatment training on reducing depression has been effective among the disabled patients with a factor equal to F = 28/78, P <0/01.Results: The results of the current study clearly show that the treatment acceptance and commitment has been influential in reducing depression among the people with disabilities in the study.

Summary
It is estimated that 7 to 10 percent of people suffer from disabilities. The number of people with moderate and severe disabilities in developing countries is roughly 200 million people. Some physical and mental rehabilitation services are provided which cover only 1 to 3 percent of persons with disabilities. Despite the fact that these disorders and disabilities have negative influences on people, it creates social and economic problems, and facilitates the prevalence of mental and psychological illnesses including isolation, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and so on. Individuals who suffer from spinal disorders deal with depression issues, pushing them away from living in the community. These people are in a system of negative expectations about their future and their lives. This is closely related to the concept of learned helplessness
