description The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of Quality Of Life Therapy (QOLT) on anxiety and stress of female high-school students in Dehaghan. The study was a semi-experimental study with experimental-control groups and a follow-up (45 days). From among 150 respondents who answered the items of anxiety and depression questionnaires, 48 respondents who received the highest scores were selected and assigned into two groups (each group included 24 subjects). Then these subjects in each group were divided into two 12 subjects experimental and control groups and 8 sessions of quality of life therapy interventions was administered to experimental groups. The results of analysis of covariance showed that quality of life therapy had significantly decreased the degree of anxiety and depression in experimental groups as compared to the control groups in posttest and follow-up stage.
