Method: The research method was descriptive-correlation and the number of 162 male opium addicts was selected via convenience sampling. For data collection purposes, Yang's early maladaptive schemas and Collins and Read’s adult attachment scale, and Rhode Island’s changeability scale were used. Results: The results showed that 38.1% of the changeability variance is predicted by secure attachment, avoidant attachment, and early maladaptive schemas. In the same way, avoidant and ambivalent attachment styles were positively associated with early maladaptive schemas. Conclusion: Due to the effect of early maladaptive schemas and insecure attachment styles on the incidence of maladaptive behavior, changeability of opium addicts can be expected to increase through the modification dysfunctional thoughts and systemic relations. }, URL = {http://etiadpajohi.ir/article-1-1027-en.html}, eprint = {http://etiadpajohi.ir/article-1-1027-en.pdf}, journal = {Research on Addiction}, doi = {}, year = {2016} }
