The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of group logotherapy on depression and hope on the statistical population of Shahid Chamran University students. The research was a semi-experimental, pretest- posttest- follow up with control group . 40 students with high depression in Beck Depression Inventory (1972) and low hope in Miller Hope Scale (1988) were selected by multistage sampling and assigned randomly to two experimental (n=20) and control (n=20) group s . The experimental group participated in 10 sessions of group logotherapy. Then, inventories were administrated again as the post-test and 1 month follow up to both groups . The results of analysis of covariance showed that the mean of depression in the experimental group was significantly less and the mean of hope was significantly more than those of the control group both at the post- and follow-up tests (P < 0.01).
