This study examines the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on self-regulation, anger management, and social well-being among recovered addicts. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test control group format, the research involved all women recovering from addiction who attended Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings in Boumehen. Sixteen participants were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental (n=8) and control (n=8) groups. Initially, both groups completed a pre-test. The experimental group then receivedeight 90-minute sessions of compassion-focused therapy, while the control group received no intervention. Post-tests were administered to both groups at the conclusion of the study. The instruments used included the Social Well-Being Scale (Keyes, 1998), the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (Spielberger, 1998), and the Self-Regulation Questionnaire (Miller & Brown, 1999 Data were analyzed using Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) followed by univariate ANCOVAs to control for baseline scores. Multivariate analysis of covariance revealed a significant overall effect of the intervention on the combined dependent variables, with all multivariate test statistics converging on the same conclusion (e.g., Wilks’ Λ = .19, F(3, 9) = 12.45, p = .001). Follow-up univariate ANCOVAs indicated that, after controlling for pre-test scores, the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher levels of self-regulation and social well-being compared with the control group (p < .01). In addition, compassion-focused therapy led to a significant improvement in anger management (p < .01), whereas no significant changes were observed in the control group  Based on these results, it is suggestive that compassion-focused therapy works for enhancing self-regulation, anger management, and social well-being among recovered addicts.
