Twenty-four students(treatment group n=12, control group n=12) participated in this study, ACT program was administered for eight sessions. Posttraumatic stress symptoms, complex posttraumatic stress symptoms, negative cognition, emotion dysregulation and acceptance action were assessed at pre-test, post-test, and at 8 weeks follow-up periods. The results of this study were as follows: Posttraumatic stress symptoms, complex posttraumatic stress symptoms, negative cognition, emotion dysregulation decreased in the therapy group more than in the control group, whereas acceptance action increased in the therapy group.
