  This study aimed to investigate the effect of training compassion focused therapy on self-concept and assertiveness in female students in Isfahan. The method used in this study was semi-experimental, of the sort of pretest and post-test with control group and the statistical population were all the female students of 13 to 16 from the year 1394 to 1395. To accomplish the research, 30 female first grade high school students were chosen by accessible sampling method and randomly assigned to experiment (15 persons) and control (15 persons) groups. The experimental group received 8 training compassion focused therapy sessions. Participants responded to Self-Concept Inventory (Rogers, 1975) and Assertiveness Inventory (Rathus, 1973) before and after the intervention, and one month later (follow-up). The results of the analysis of covariance showed that teaching compassion focused therapy had no effect on self-concept of the female students but had a significant effect on assertiveness (p<0.05). This result did not continue in the follow-up period. Due to the results of this study, it could be said that training compassion focused therapy leads to the enhancement of assertiveness of the female students. Manuscript profile
