Cognitive-behavioral play therapy , by combining different methods of play therapy with cognitive-behavioral model seeks to increase desirable behaviors and reduce harmful behaviors in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral play therapy on reducing aggression and symptoms of attention deficit disorder. A total of 90 children aged 9-13 years who have behavioral problems such as (aggression) in Shiraz were selected based on the Shahim Aggression Questionnaire (2005) and were divided into experimental and control groups. Pre-test and post-test steps were performed in both groups after receiving 10 sessions of treatment for the experimental group. Play, cognitive-behavioral therapy has a significant effect on reducing aggression and symptoms of attention deficit disorder. Play-group cognitive-behavioral therapy reduces aggression in children and has a positive effect on improving the symptoms of attention deficit disorder.
