The sample consisted of 3 single-parent boys were selected through convenient sampling method. The Kendall and Wilcox self-control questionnaire (1979) was used to collect data. The intervention training was conducted in 12 sessions of 45 minutes with intervals of 1 week between sessions. The data analysis method was analytic, and the rate of recovery was used to obtain the effectiveness of play therapy.
Results: The results of data analysis showed that although child-focused therapy had an effective effect on self- control and impulsive behavior of single-parent children, its effect was not clinically meaningful.
