Putus Cinta: Aplikasi Terapi Rasional Emotif Tingkah Laku Mendepani Isu Konsep Kendiri Remaja

In an adolescent, the development phase causes a variety of conflicts. One of the most common problems among adolescents is the issue of love breakup. It can lead to the disruption of self-concept which eventually leads to a failure to overcome real problems. Hence, this study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) to address the problem of self -concept among adolescents. This is a qualitative study using interview sessions as a study design. The study was based on a counseling case of a teenage female client who was going through a breakup. The client suffered from depression and feels inferior to her self -image and chooses to isolate herself from others. Thus, the Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) was utilized to reestablish the client's self -concept. REBT therapy enables the client to change the negative way of thinking to positive and rationalize her thinking to avoid her feeling depressed with the issue of the breakup. This is important in ensuring that the client successfully solves her problems and can give full commitment to her learning and responsibilities.
