This pilot study compare the effectiveness of the transactional analysis training and emotion regulation therapy on the reduction of love trauma syndrome (LTS). The present research was developed as pre-test and post-test. Randomly 44 participants were divided into three TA (N = 15; Mage = 23.01, SD = 3.02), ERT (N = 14; Mage = 22.78, SD = 3.33), and control groups (N = 15; Mage = 22.60, SD = 3.14). the results of one-way analysis of covariance demonstrated that there is a significant difference in LTS between two treatment groups and control group (P<0.001). However, no significant difference was found between the treatments groups of TA and ERT. Preliminary findings suggest that indicated that both TA and ERT equally reduced the LTS.
