An Anova of the order of 2x2x(2) with repeated measure on the last factor was employed in the present study to gauge the effect of psychological interventions, if any between the control group and the experimental group in the two genders from pre to post test on occupational stress, psychosocial stress and life stress among the high stressed lawyers (N=160 who scored above mean +1/2 SD assessed through stress scales). The main findings are: (1). The main effects of group, gender and treatment have turned out to be significant at .01 level. (2). The interaction effects of group x treatment have yielded significant F ratios (1754.686**,1119.796**, and 373.025**, P.01) thereby depicting the remarkable improvement of experimental group from pre to post test over control group in terms of stress reduction due to psychological interventions. Thus, overall,t he effect of interventions was highly significant.
