چکیده	The COVID-19 pandemic not only poses physical health challenges but also has significant psychological implications. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in enhancing self-control and reducing anger among individuals recovered from COVID-19. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up assessments and a control group was used. The study population included individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 who sought treatment at a private center in Iran. A total of 30 participants were selected through convenient sampling and randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 15) or a control group (n = 15). The experimental group received nine sessions of CBT, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using Tanji's (1999) Self-Control Questionnaire and Buss and Perry's (1992) Aggression Questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and repeated measures ANOVA to evaluate treatment sustainability. The results indicated that CBT significantly improved self-control and reduced anger among individuals recovered from COVID-19. CBT appears to be an effective intervention for enhancing selfcontrol and reducing anger in individuals who have recovered from COVID-19.
