  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.

The results showed that there is a difference between desirable social behavior in students with and without signs of self-harm (P<0.001). There is a difference between emotional control in students with and without signs of self-harm (P<0.001). There is a difference between the behavioral brain system in students with and without signs of self-harm (P<0.001). Based on the aforementioned findings, it can be concluded that psychologists and school counselors should identify and treat students with signs of self-harm. Manuscript profile

In terms of purpose, the present study is of applied type and in terms of survey data collection method. The statistical population of this study is all adolescents aged 11 to 16 years in Tehran city in 2020. Due to be unlimited of the number of statistical population in this study, using Morgan table, the sample size was 384. Samples were selected using multistage cluster sampling. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for data collection. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through face validity and its reliability was also confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. SPSS software was used for data analysis and regression and independent t-test were used to analyze the hypotheses. Research findings show that social networks have a significant negative effect on self-care formation among adolescents aged 11 to 16 years in Tehran (With beta coefficient = - 0.456) Social networks also had a significant negative effect on self-care formation of social (With beta coefficient = - 0.411), psychological (With beta coefficient = - 0.406) and physical (With beta coefficient = - 0.352) injuries among adolescents. Also, the use of social networks was significantly higher among male adolescents than in female adolescents, and self-care among female adolescents was significantly higher than male adolescents.
