Old age is a sensitive period in which examining different dimensions of mental health becomes very important. Rumination and emotional alexithymia are factors that can have a significant impact on the mental health of the elderly. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of schema therapy on rumination and emotional alexithymia on the older people in Ahvaz. The research method was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study was all the older people in Ahvaz in 1403. The sample sizes of the study included 30 older people (65 to 75 years old) who were selected using a convenience sampling method and based on the study entry criteria and were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received the schema therapy package of Yang et al. in eight 90-minute weekly sessions. The scales used in this study included the Toronto Emotional Alexithymia Scale and the Nolen Hoeksima and Maru Rumination Scale. The data were analyzed by univariate analysis of covariance using SPSS version 22 software. The results showed that by controlling the pre-test effect in the post-test phase, there was a significant difference between the two control and experimental groups in the variables of rumination and alexithymia (p<0.001). According to the findings of this study, schema therapy improves rumination and alexithymia in the older people and represents new horizons in clinical interventions and can be used as an effective intervention method in improving rumination and alexithymia in the older people.
