Abstract Introduction: Adolescence is a unique period of transition that is associated with physical, psychological and social changes. In addition to these changes, the discovery of identity is also considered one of the most important features of this period, and for this reason, in this period, the need for independence increases and they look for their self-concept and values, and this process leads to changes in the family, and this change leads to other changes. In parent-child relationships, this research was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of therapy based on acceptance and commitment and reality therapy in a group manner on the parent-child relationship in teenage students. Research Methods: The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The research population included all the male secondary school students of the 2nd district of Hamadan city who were studying in the academic year of 2022-2023. From these, 3 groups of 20 people were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and were randomly divided into experimental and control groups and were administered the parent-child relationship evaluation questionnaire by Fine, Moreland and Scobel in two pre-post sessions. They answered the test. The subjects of the experimental group were treated with the approach of treatment based on acceptance and commitment and reality therapy, during 8 sessions, 1 session of 60 minutes per week, but no training was given to the control group. The data were statistically analyzed with SPSS software and using the analysis of covariance test and a significant level of p < 0.05. Results: The results showed that the post-test average of the group treated with the treatment approach based on acceptance and commitment on the father-child relationship is 20.5 points higher than the control group (i-j=20.5, sig=0.034). Also, the mean post-test of the group treated by reality therapy method on the parent-child relationship is 42.9 points higher than the control group (i-j=42.9, sig=0.0001). Conclusion: According to the results of this research, it can be said that therapy based on acceptance and commitment and therapy based on reality therapy led to the improvement of father-child relationship.
