The plan of study was quasi experimental through pretest, posttest and follow up with control group. The sample of this study consists of 16 brain injured patients in Mashhad city and selected by Convenience sampling method and voluntarily participate in this study. Participants randomly divided into two groups. The first groups receive cognitive behavioral therapy and the second group hasn’t any therapy. Two groups in three pretest, posttest and follow up time level were measured. Applied measures in this study consisted of Buss-Pery Aggression Questionnaire and collected data were analyzed through Spss software by repeated measure analysis of variance. The results showed that experimental group that receive CBT showed insignificant differences in aggression reduction in compare with control group that don’t receive any therapy.
