The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of positive thinking training on hope and life satisfaction in mothers with disabled children. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up design and control group. The research sample consisting of 30 mothers with disabled children under the auspices of Shahinshahr Welfare Organization in 2016 was selected by purposive sampling and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Participants completed the Hope Scale (Schneider et al., 1991) and Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (Diner et al., 1985) at the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up stages. Experimental group was trained for 8 sessions of 60 minutes per week in positive thinking training and the control group did not receive any training. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance. The results showed that in the variable of hope, time factor (p<0.05, F=16.907), group factor (p<0.05, F=19.864) and time and group interaction (p<0.05, F=17.996) and in life satisfaction variable, time factor (p<0.05, F=8.757), group factor (p<0.05, F=8.806) and time and group interaction (P<0.05, F=9.543) are significant that these findings indicate that there is a significant difference between the two groups in the three stages of research on the factor of hope and life satisfaction. Therefore, positive thinking training in psychological centers can be used as an effective treatment to improve the hope and life satisfaction of mothers with disabilities
