stages with its own purpose where a theory behind of each module is emphasized before developing any counseling
module interventions. The main objective of this article is to develop a REBT counseling module focuses on self-concept
development among orphans. In module developing stage, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy approach is chosen as a
theoretical background. The REBT module focused on the orphans’ self-concept in Malaysia has been validated by five
experts in counseling field where .80 was obtained. A group of orphans from aged 13 to 17 years has been piloted to

other counselors or group practitioners – especially in Malaysia- with their clients according to their problems. |
