The statistical population of the present study consisted of all the mothers of students with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in the first grade of elementary school in Hamadan city. 30 people were selected from the mentioned statistical population and randomly assigned to two groups of 15 people, test and control. The experimental group underwent ten sixty-minute sessions of play therapy sessions based on the parent-child relationship, but this training was not implemented for the control group. The research tools included the play therapy protocol based on Landerth and Bratton (2006) and two standard scales of Eysenck's self-confidence (1996) and aggression scale of Bass and Perry (1992) were used to collect the data, analysis of covariance was used.
