Abstract The aim of this study was to reduce the level of jealousy in six female college students with ages ranging from 18 to 35 years who presented pathological jealousy. The therapeutic process used was based on the cognitive-behavioral intervention guide for jealousy management in couple relationships. Under an AB design, the intervention had a timespan of two months and was developed throughout seven sessions. A follow-up was performed six months later for two of the six subjects. The results show a decrease in Interpersonal Jealousy Scale score and significant differences were found in the global results of the IJS scores in pre- and post-application of the intervention (p<,05). Other differences were seen in the frequency of behavior associated to problematic jealousy. The strengths and limitations of the intervention are discussed.
