The present study aims at determining the effectiveness of rationalemotive behavioral group therapy in psychological well-being of women. The type study was applied and semi-experimental (pretestposttest with control group). Using convenience sampling method, 24 patients were selected from among the women who participated in the psychology classes of the ‘health house’ in District 5 of the Municipality of Tabriz based on their low scores in Ryff's Scale of Psychological Well-Being (RSPWB). The selected patients were then randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Next, in the experimental group, intervention rational-emotive behavioral group therapy was conducted for 8 sessions (one 2-hour session per week). The results of the one-way covariance analysis showed that after the application of the independent variable (rational-emotive behavioralgroup therapy), there was a significant difference between the experimental and the control groups. Therefore, it can be concludedthat rational-emotive behavioral group therapy is effective (P <0/000)in the psychological well-being of women.
