Abstract: The current research is conducted to evaluate early maladaptive schemas. It aimed to study the early maladaptive schemas of depressed, anxious or obsessive compulsive patients along with early maladaptive schemas of individuals in non-clinical group. The statistical population was selected randomly from the patients that were suffering from depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder who visited Shafa Psychiatric Hospital in Rasht in 2014 to 2015. In order to collect data, Young Schema and DASS-21 questionnaire plus Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Inventory were used. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. The results showed that there is a difference between early maladaptive schemas of patients with depression, anxiety and OCD in vulnerability to harm or illness, unrelenting standards/ hypercriticalness, undeveloped self / enmeshment, failures, dependency/ incompetence, entitlement /grandiosity and emotional inhibition and early maladaptive schemas of non-clinical group.
