The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a group counseling program based on cognitive – behavioral therapy on reducing the Type A behavior pattern. The study attempted to test the following hypothesis: participants who receive group counseling based on cognitive – behavioral therapy will report significant reduction in the Type A behavior pattern compared to participants in the control group who don't receive any kind of treatment. A Type A Behavior Scale (TABS) was constructed to assess the extent to which the subjects have Type A behavior. The sample consisted of 24 students selected based on their TABS scores (above the mean). These subjects were randomly assigned into two groups: Experimental group (n=12 students) who received group counseling based on cognitive – behavioral therapy, and a control group (n=12 students) who didn't receive any treatment. Means, standard deviations, and Analysis of covariance revealed that there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in the reduction of Type A behavior. This significant reduction was greatly in favor of the experimental group subjects.

This study determined the effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) group counseling on the psychological well-being of self-harming emerging adults. It utilized the pretest-posttest control group design. The Self-Harm Inventory (SHI) was used to determine self-harming emerging adults. There were no significant relationships among the socio-demographic variables and the level of severity of self-harm of 30 college students. The intervention was a four session CBT group counseling. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale – 21 (DASS-21) was used to measure psychological well-being. There were eight participants in the experimental group and nine participants in the control group. The results of the study revealed significant differences in the psychological well-being of the experimental group and the control group after the intervention. The findings suggest implications in school guidance and counseling programs to address the mental health issues of emerging adults.
