Abstract :

  The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of monotheistic integrated therapy on self-control and social harms of female students in less privileged areas. The research was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all female students from less privileged areas in the academic year 2021-22 with a number of 370 people. Using available sampling method, 30 people were selected as samples and randomly placed in two groups of 15 people (experimental and control). Research tools included self-control questionnaires (Ali Akbari Dehkordi et al., 2014) and social harms (Aghaei and Teimurtash, 2016). Monotheistic integrated therapy was offered to the members of the experimental group in 12 1-hour sessions and two sessions per week, but the control group did not receive any intervention during the experiment. The data were analyzed using the multivariate covariance analysis method and using the spss26 software package at a significance level of 0.05. The results of the research showed that monotheistic treatment was effective on students' self-control and social harms (P<0.001). These results show the effectiveness of monotheistic integrated therapy in reducing social harms and factors related to it, and due to its alignment with Iranian-Islamic culture, it can be used in educational and therapeutic centers.
