Methods: Ex post facto method was used on 60 men undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) and 60 normal men from addiction treatment clinics in Shiraz who were selected through judgmental convenient sampling. The instrument was the problem solving style questionnaire and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. The findings were analyzed through Student t test using SPSS version 21.
Results: Result showed that the difference between two groups in approach style and creative problem-solving style, sorting piles and preservative errors. There are no difference between two groups in helplessness, problem-solving control, problem-solving confidence and avoidance style.
Conclusion: Data analysis showed that men undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) have problem in problem solving and the abstract thinking, So clinical psychologists should pay attention cognitive factors in treatment substance dependent individuals.
- problem solving style
