In today's society, a phenomenon called single-parent family is seen more than in the past and it occurs for reasons such as death, imprisonment, disappearance of one of the parents, or divorce and separation between parents. Children who live with one of their parents face the lack of the other parent, and this problem can create problems for them, of which anxiety is only a small example. Anxiety is an unpleasant feeling that usually occurs due to the repetition of past stressful situations. In this study, the effectiveness of play therapy on the anxiety of single-parent children has been investigated. Using the experimental method, 40 people were selected from among the studied subjects by purposive sampling method. In order to collect and validate the data, Spence's anxiety questionnaire was used, and after scoring the questionnaire and extracting the data, using SPSS-V21 software and taking the help of the one-factor and multi-factor covariance analysis statistical test to analyze and Data analysis has been done.
The findings showed that play therapy is effective in reducing anxiety and its components (failure, physical aggression, relationships with authority figures and relationships with peers).
