Konseling Realitas dan Transformasi Perilaku Salah Suai Remaja

Abstract

This research aims to examine the contribution of reality counseling in overcoming the behavior of misfit individuals in adolescence. The focus of this study is to analyze the extent to which the reality counseling approach can assist adolescents in changing their behavior in a more positive and adaptive direction. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The results showed that reality counseling contributed to improving adolescents' self-awareness, emotion management, interpersonal skills, and responsibility for their actions. In addition, this approach helps adolescents build healthier social relationships, increase academic motivation, and develop the ability to overcome challenges independently. The relevance of reality counseling to the underlying theory is reflected in the application of the principles of behavior evaluation and concrete step planning through the WDEP framework. This process not only helps adolescents achieve short-term changes but also provides skills and mindsets that support their future development.
