Abstract
The main objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of life review therapy with emphasis on Islamic ontology on decreasing the symptoms of PTSD. The statistical population of the research included all clients of a counseling clinic. The sample was 18 clients selected from those clients in one year and then randomly assigned into two groups: 8 as control and 8 as experimental group. Using an experimental research design, PTSD symptoms were assessed by PTSD questionnaire before and after an intervention. Analysis of t-test of the data showed that that the symptoms of PTSD were significantly decreased in the experimental group (α= /01). Findings also showed that the life review therapy with emphasis on Islamic ontology was effective in reducing the symptoms of PTSD.
