Sometimes, the obstacles and problems in a person's life disrupt the adaptation and mental balance of a person, which causes mental disorders. This paper determined the effect of Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy on reducing psychological symptoms in patients with an antisocial personality disorder. This was a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population consisted of all men aged 19-45 with antisocial personality disorder living in Semnan prison. According to similar research, 16 subjects were selected using the convenience sampling method and assigned into two intervention and control groups by the Random Number Generator method. The research tools included the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) and Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R). Data were analyzed using SPSS-19 and multivariate analysis of variance method. The findings showed that there was a significant difference between both groups in the components of Anxiety, Aggression, Depression, Physical Complaints, Obsessive-Compulsion, Phobia, Psychosis, and Paranoid Thoughts, with the significant difference between the two groups only in the component, sensitivity in interpersonal relationships (P<0.05, F=1.35). Conclusion: the results show that intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy is effective in reducing the clinical psychological syndromes of patients with antisocial personality disorder and can be used as a desirable treatment method. This treatment method is useful for some care centers for antisocial patients such as camps, educational centers, penitentiaries, and prisons.
