The sample included 40 depressed young girls that were randomly assigned to three groups of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; Solution-focused therapy and a control group. Data collected with a depression questionnaire and a quality of life questionnaire. Then Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-focused Therapy for 9 sessions of 2 hours treated and the control group did not receive anything. Data were analyzed using multiple covariance analyses. Although the results showed that both treatments had a positive effect on depression and improved quality of life, but acceptance commitment therapy was more effective, and there is no significant difference between the two treatments in both variables. Therefore, acceptance and commitment therapy can be a treatment of choice to reduce depression and improve quality of life in depressed young girls.
