This study investigated the effectiveness of counseling programme based on Muscular relaxation in decreasing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that resulted from the practices of Israeli occupation against the Palestinian children.

The problem of the study represented in the lack of counseling program in Palestine that attempt to decrease the (PTSD), which came as a result of the practices of Israeli occupation anainst the Palestinian children in order to prevent these syndromes to be developed into chronic disorders that impact children's future.

The importance of this study comes from its focus on the studied category which is significant; this category embraced children suffering from (PTSD) that appeared due to practices of Israeli occupation.

The study is also important due to the significance of the program used as being based on the muscular relaxation techniques; such programme proved efficiency in resolving an array of psychological disorders and problems.

The study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of counseling program based on Muscular relaxation in decreasing (PTSD) that resulted from the practices of Israeli occupation against the Palestinian children at Hebron district.

The study followed the experimental and the analytical descriptive approach.

The results of the study turned out differences on the total score and the rest of the other dimensions in the averages based on the effectiveness of muscle relaxation techniques in the treatment of the symptoms of post-trauma due to the way (stander / experimental) in favor of the experimental group.

And the existence of differences due to the school (agency / government) in favor of the government school and the existence of differences that are due to the interaction between (group / school) in favor of government school from experimental group.

In the light of these findings the study made several recommendations the most important of these were; adopting this counseling program then applying it on the students of schools on regular basis.

More attention is to be paid to establishing of institutions that concerned with the treatment of children who suffer from (PTSD) resulting from the Israeli occupation practices.

also I suggested to study the Physical self unrests resulting from the Israeli occupation practices in the Palestinian society and the effectiveness of relaxation exercises in reduction these unrests.
