The sample consisted of 17 adolescents who live at Dar Al-Yateem Al-Arabie society in Tulkarm, Palestine ranging from 11-16 years of age. One group quasi-experimental design was used, in which the experimental group received counseling program based on prolonged exposure techniques over 7 weeks, 2 sessions per week. The performance of the group was tested before and after the intervention. Results demonstrated that the group counseling program was effective in reducing PTSD symptoms among the sample members.
