This research uses a meta-analysis method. Meta-analysis is a study of research results in similar problems. The unit of analysis in the study is written documents about the research approach to Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in the form of journal articles and research reports taken purposively based on their suitability with the research theme. The main instrument of this research is the researchers themselves assisted with documentation guidance. Analysis of the data used is the analysis of quantitative data with the percentage and analysis of qualitative data for data from the results of narrative studies of the studies encountered. The results showed that the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) approach plays a role in increasing the ability to control emotions such as anxiety and aggressiveness, the ability to eliminate negative thoughts and self-destructive behaviors, and changes in the support of irrational thinking, with limited behavioral changes.

“…Furthermore, Omeje et al ( 2018) discovered that REBT effectively reduced irrational beliefs among HIV patients who were alcohol addicts. Kurniawat and Basuki (2019) concluded in a meta-analysis study that the REBT approach could help people avoid the drug addiction by encouraging more rational problem-solving. Additionally, REBT promotes rational thought, lessens anxiety after treatment, curbs aggressive behavior, lessens the harmful impacts of drug usage, and assists clients in making wise judgments in the future.…”

“…A module includes certain exercises meant to aid the client in developing common sense (Ahmad, 2008). Implementing structured counseling sessions can aid problems like substance abuse by building more reasonable beliefs, and raising selfmotivation to stop abusing substances (Jogdand, 2018;Omeje al., 2018;Kurniawat & Basuki, 2019). As a result, the primary objective of the development of REBTGCM is to assist teenage smokers in developing insights, removing irrational beliefs, and boosting motivation for the readiness to stop.…”
