The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of rational-emotive therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy on cognitive flexibility in adolescents with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. The present study method was a semi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a follow-up period (2 months). The statistical population of the present study consisted of all female students with disruptive mood in the first high school of Quds in the academic year 2022-2023. Of which 48 people were selected purposefully and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and a control group. The instrument of this study was the cognitive flexibility questionnaire of Dennis & Vander Wal (CFI, 2010). The intervention of rational-emotional therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy was implemented in 8 90-minute sessions once a week in a group for the first and second experimental groups. The data were analyzed using mixed variance analysis. The results of the Warbans analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the groups in post-test and follow-up cognitive flexibility (P<0.05), and the results showed that acceptance and commitment therapy was significantly more effective than rational emotive therapy on the cognitive flexibility of adolescent girls with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and a significant difference was observed between the two treatments (P<0.05). It can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the two rational-emotive therapies and acceptance and commitment therapy.
