Objective:The aim of this study was investigating efficacy of group counseling based on sources of self-knowledge on increasing self-esteem of high school girl students. Method: This study was an experimental one using a pre-test post-test design with control group.

Then, participants were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Participants in the experimental group were given 14 sessions of group counseling while the control group received no intervention. Both groups were tested again after 10 days of the last session. Results of self esteem test were analyzed through comparing and analysis of covariance. Findings: Group counseling based on sources of self-knowledge had increased girl students self-esteem (p<0.001).
