The method applied in this research is semi empirical with two groups of experimental and control. The experimental group was placed under 9, 90 minute sessions of group reality therapy. To collect data the Goldberg 28 question general health questionnaire and the Copper Smith 58 question self-esteem questionnaire were used.

Results indicated that the average mental health scores in the experimental group's posttest are lower than that of the posttest in the control group. Also, the average self-esteem scores in the experimental group's posttest are higher than that of the posttest in the control group.
