The study of aging and its problems is a novel and new field in our country, and risk factors and psychological and social pathology in the elderly should be investigated. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy on cognitive distortions and suicidal thoughts in the older people in Ahvaz. The research method was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of the study was all the elderly in Ahvaz in 1403. The sample size of the study included 30 elderly people (65 to 75 years old) who were selected using a convenience sampling method and based on the study entry criteria and was randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received Linehan dialectical behavior therapy in eight 90-minute weekly sessions. The scales used in this study included the Hamamchi and Buyuk Ozturk cognitive distortions scale and Beck suicidal thoughts. Data were analyzed by univariate analysis of covariance using SPSS version 22 software. The results showed that by controlling the effect of the pretest in the posttest phase, there was a significant difference between the two control and experimental groups in the variables of cognitive distortions and suicidal thoughts (p<0.001). Based on the findings of this study, dialectical behavior therapy reduces cognitive distortions and suicidal thoughts in the elderly and represents new horizons in clinical interventions and can be used as an effective intervention method in improving cognitive distortions and suicidal thoughts in the older people.
