Altruistic behavior is one of the most important forms of positive social behavior that stems from the principles of moral values that individuals must possess and we urge our children to do, especially adolescents deprived of family care, and we strive to instill and develop it because of its importance in building a sound Egyptian personality and in a way that achieves great benefits for society by building social relations, brotherhood, sympathy, and appreciation of the feelings of others and exchanging assistance and participation to raise the spirit of belonging and cooperation In light of this, developing altruistic behavior and developing it for adolescents deprived of family care has become a matter of interest. Therefore, the current study sought to test the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy in serving the individual to develop altruistic behavior for adolescents deprived of family care. The altruistic behavior scale was used for adolescents deprived of family care, and it was applied to an experimental sample of (11) individuals from adolescents deprived of family care who are placed in shelter institutions using the quasi-experimental approach, relying on a sample, one of which is experimental. The other is a control and its results reached the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy in serving the individual to develop altruistic behavior in its dimensions (empathy with others - helping others - participat with others). The study concluded with developing future research proposals on altruistic behavior due to its novelty in Social Work.
