Background:  The tendency to avoid negative emotions may occur in any psychological treatment process. In this regard, Robert Leahy reviewed this topic by presenting the model of emotional schemas. He believes that excitement is some sort of information. Excitements arise from the parallel processing of various information and most of them occur outside the scope of consciousness. In this regard,Robert Leahy tries to overcome this disadvantage by offering a therapeutic model based on emotional schemas. The present research question is what difference is between emotional schemas of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, major depression and normal people?
