Abstract The main purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of rational-emotional behavior therapy (REBT) on impulse control and difficulty in emotion regulation in adolescents referred to DIC centers in Tehran. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research included teenagers who referred to the DIC centers in Tehran in the second 6 months of 2014. 30 people were selected using the available sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The measuring instruments were the impulsivity scale (BIS-11) (Barrett et al., 2004) and the difficulty of emotion regulation questionnaire (DERS) (Gratz and Roemer, 2004). Behavioral therapy with REBT approach on impulse control and difficulty in emotion regulation was implemented for 8 sessions of 90 minutes on the experimental group. The results of multivariate covariance analysis showed that group counseling with REBT approach had an effect on reducing impulsivity symptoms and difficulty in emotional regulation (P<0.05). Considering the effectiveness of rational-emotional behavior therapy on the symptoms of impulsivity and difficulty in emotional regulation, it is recommended to implement educational workshops based on these concepts in family counseling centers.
