Research method was quasi-experimental with three-month pretest and post test design. Thus, thirty patients with excoriation disorder (15 received mindfulness-based therapies as the experimental group and 15 received cognitive-behavioral therapies as the control group)were selected through convenience sampling from patients attended one of the clinics in Tehran in 2014. Participants were asked to complete the short form of quality of life questionnaire and excoriation disorder revised before and after treatment intervention and three-month follow-up.
