For this purpose, 30 mothers of girls with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Using purposive sampling method. The Conners Parent Rating Scale and clinical interviews were used for screening and the anxiety inventory and Pennsylvania State Worry Questionnaire were used to collect data in two conditions [pretest and posttest].
