Abstract
Introduction: This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of short-term intensive psychoanalytic treatment on the symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder in 16-year-old adolescents.
Methods: The research design of this quasi-experimental study was pretest-posttest with control group. From the statistical population of students with confrontational disobedience disorder in Tehran's 4th district, Tehran, 30 high school boys with disability disorder were selected by available sampling method. The Humorsen et al. (2006) scale was used to measure oppositional defiant disorder disorder. Psychotherapeutic intervention was presented in eight sessions for the experimental group. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of covariance.
Results: The results of data analysis showed that short-term intensive psychotherapy treatment improves the symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder 16-year-olds (p≤0 / 001).
Conclusion: Due to the effective effect of short-term intensive psychotherapy treatment on the improvement of symptoms of students' oppositional defiant disorder, it is recommended to use this method.
