The statistical population of this study is all the employees of "Red Crescent" who have symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in Tehran in 2019; 30 were selected through "purposive sampling" and were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups (groups of 15). Then, the "coping flexibility" questionnaires of Bonanno, Noll and Horenczyk (2011) and the "symptom checklist-90 items- revised" (SCL-90) of Derogatis (1994) were completed by both groups. Then, the "God-oriented spiritual multidimensional therapy" was performed on the experimental group, the post-test was performed, and the data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24 and the "covariance analysis" method. According to the findings of the research: "God-oriented spiritual multidimensional therapy" increases coping flexibility and reduces the symptoms of mental disorders and their subscales (P=0.001). Therefore, I can claim: the "God-oriented spiritual multidimensional therapy" increases coping flexibility and reduces mental disorders by regulating human action in various dimensions and balancing it; and as a result, people overcome the problems that seem out of control, from the agent's point of view, in their life.
