By using Cohen table we got 30 samples ( the effect size was 0/5,α=0/05 and test power=0/76) which were distributed equally in experimental and control groups with 15 samples in each. We collected the samples by cluster random sampling method. We used Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED) inventory by Birmaher(1999) as our research tool. Analysis of covariance(ANCOVA) was used for analysis of data.

Abstract
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).

The method of the current research was semi-experimental with a two-group pre-test-post-test design (test-control) and two-month follow-up. The statistical population of the research consisted of all first grade female students of Shahrekord, numbering 11,832 people. In this research, available sampling method was used and a total of 30 people were selected and randomly divided into two groups (experimental and control). The research tools included the Illinois Bullying Standard Questionnaire (2001), Spence et al.'s (1999) separation anxiety, and Fredericks' academic enthusiasm, Blumenfield, Paris (2004). Cognitive-behavioral game therapy intervention was implemented for the experimental group during 8 sessions of 30 minutes and the data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and analysis of variance with repeated measurements in SPSS25 software. The findings indicated the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral play therapy on bullying, separation anxiety and academic enthusiasm and their components. The results showed that the eta coefficient of the intervention effect on bullying was 0.738, separation anxiety was 0.623, and academic enthusiasm was 0.632 at a significant level of 0.001. The two-month follow-up showed that after two months of cognitive-behavioral game therapy training, there was no significant change in the variables of bullying, separation anxiety and academic enthusiasm. Therefore, this intervention can be used as an effective intervention to reduce bullying and separation anxiety of students and increase students' academic enthusiasm.
