Objective: The research aimed at studying the efficacy of cognitive behavior therapy on emotion regulation and irritability of the students suffered from disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
 Methods: The method of the present study is quasi-experimental. Using purposive sampling thirty junior high school students suffered from disruptive mood dysregulation disorder were selected through diagnostic interview, then were randomly set in an experimental and a control group (each group consisted of 15 people). They answered to emotional reactivity index and Emotional adjustment scale and whose validity and reliability are confirmed. Data were analyzed by Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MONCOVA) method and using the SPSS-21 software.
Results: The findings showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy significantly reduced the negative components of emotional self-regulation such as blaming others, rumination, catastrophizing, and increasing the positive components of emotional regulation, positive attention, positive evaluation, reconsideration and acceptance. Treatment also led to a significant reduction in the excitability of the sample group.
Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that this treatment can be effective in emotion regulation and irritability of these patients.
