Study also investigates the effectiveness of 8-sessions psycho-education program about maternal attitudes. Method: Sample consisted of 97 mother-child pairs and children's age ranged between 8 to 10. Parental Attitudes Research Instrument (PARI), Leyton Obsessional Inventory Child Version (LOI-CV), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-CH) and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) were used as assessment tools. After initial assessments, fifteen mothers randomly assigned either to group psycho-education condition (n=8) or waiting-list control condition (n=7). Results: Marital conflict was positively correlated with total interference score in LOI-CV, total score in LOI-CV and A-Trait anxiety symptoms (r=.23, r=.24 and r =.24, respectively). Authoritarianism positively correlated with A-Trait anxiety symptoms (r=.25). Findings also indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in total scores of negative attitudes (Z=-2.201, p=.028), and posttest scores of these variables showed significant decrease after psycho-education program. There were statistically significant change in interfere (Z=-2.371, p=.018) and total (Z=-2.366, p=.018) score of OCD symptoms after psycho-education program. Discussion: Marital conflict has a significant relationship with subclinical OCD symptoms. Marital conflict and authoritarian attitude also have significant relationship with trait anxiety symptoms in children. Furthermore, psycho-education program was effective in reducing negative maternal attitudes and children's subclinical OCD symptoms
