Aim and Background: Suicide is a complex social consequence and it is an increasing problem among female students, and many skills and interventions have been provided to prevent suicide. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of holographic treatment on social curiosity and academic vitality of female students attempting suicide.
