This study investigated the effectiveness of Mode Deactivation Therapy (MDT) on modifying attitude towards psychological help seeking among students in Idemili North, Nigeria (IDNLG). Pre-test post test quasiexperimental design with 2x 2 factorial matrix was utilized. The population of the study is all Senior Secondary School one (SS) students spread across 16 schools located within IDNLG. Eighty-five students (Female=44; male=41) with age range of 13-19 years ( x =13.3SD=3.7) who obtained less than 30 in the Achievement Motivation Inventory participated in study. They were randomized into experimental and control Group.
