The current study aims to identify the effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) in reducing cognitive conflict among middle school female students. This study was validated through a number of null hypotheses developed by the researcher. To achieve the study's objective, the researcher adopted the Cognitive Conflict Scale (CCS) developed by Al-Jamali (2014). The scale's psychometric properties were verified by applying it to a research sample of (200) female students. The construct validity indicators were calculated, and the reliability coefficient calculated using The Test-Retest Method, which reached (0.85). Regarding the guidance program, an experimental design was adopted with two groups, the experimental and the control, with a pre-test and a post-test. The researcher built a guidance program according to the rational emotive behavioral therapy method, and relied on the theory of (Albert Ellis) with (10) guidance sessions that included different titles. After applying the post-test to the members of the experimental and control groups, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) in favor of the experimental group, which indicates the effectiveness of the rational emotive behavioral therapy method in reducing cognitive conflict among middle school students. The research came out with a set of recommendations and proposals.
