Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common, chronic, and debilitating mental disorder. The present study investigated the effects of cognitive self-compassion training with emphasis on poetry therapy on the psychological well-being and symptoms of PTSD in women. This is a quasi-experimental study of the pre-test/post-test type using a control group. The statistical population comprised a total of ۳۲ women suffering from PTSD in Khorramabad city, selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received cognitive self-compassion training with an emphasis on poetry therapy in ten ۹۰-minute sessions based on the cognitive self-compassion intervention of Neff (۲۰۱۱) and related poems. The study scales included the Ryff Scale of Psychological Well-Being (۱۹۸۹) and (۱۹۹۸). Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of covariance by SPSS-۲۳ software. The scores of the psychological well-being and PTSD in women with this disorder before and after the intervention were significantly different. The experimental group showed a significant increase (F=۳,۷۰, p<,۰۵) in the psychological well-being score and a significant decrease (F=۹.۲۶, p<,۰۵) in the PTSD score compared to the control group. Considering the positive effect of this treatment, therefore, mental health professionals are recommended to use this treatment for PTSD patients.
