<![CDATA[This study investigated the effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in managing anger among three female boarding students at the Jaffray School of Philosophy and Theology, Makassar. Using a qualitative descriptive design with a case study approach, data were collected through five structured counseling sessions, each lasting 60 minutes, in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing with verification. Findings indicated that REBT intervention through the ABCDE framework enabled participants to identify and challenge irrational beliefs that trigger maladaptive anger responses. Cognitive restructuring resulted in decreased anger intensity, improved emotion regulation, and more constructive interpersonal interactions within the boarding environment. This study concluded that REBT serves as an effective cognitive-behavioral intervention to improve adaptive emotion management among female boarding students.]]>
