The statistical population of the current study included all obese patients who were referred to specialized diet therapy centers in Isfahan City in the Fall and winter of 2020 and spring of 2021, from which 376 people were selected voluntarily as a sample. Then a structured interview was conducted for Axis 1 and 2 disorders (SCID-I and SCID-II) were administered, body mass index (BMI) was measured, and the subjects were asked to fill in the Young schemas-short form questionnaires (YSQ-S), childhood trauma questionnaires ( CTQ), self-compassion scale (SCS) answered. Then the collected data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling method. Results: The results of the research showed that childhood trauma is directly and indirectly related to obesity through primary maladaptive schemas and self-pity. Also, the results showed that early maladaptive schemas and self-pity are directly related to obesity.
