The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of reality therapy on rumination in women under financial welfare. For this purpose, 30 women covered by welfare centers of Chalus city were randomly selected and placed in two groups (experimental and control). The measuring tool was the 22-question rumination questionnaire of Nalan-Hoeksma and Jackson (2004), which was taken from the subjects for the effect of reality therapy training (pre-test and post-test). The results of univariate ANCOVA analysis of covariance showed that reality therapy significantly reduced rumination (P<0.01, F=15.57). It is suggested that this type of training be widely used for women heads of families in counseling centers and welfare centers as well as other support organizations and institutions.
