Step 1: Problem Formulation Whenever students transfer from one college to another, it becomes hard for them to settle immediately and adjust to the new environment. During the transition period, the affected students tend to suffer from stress, which if not addressed could quickly degenerate to depression, thus making it hard for students to perform in the new school. This scenario underscores the case with Andrew. Andrew is a 19 years old student who transferred to St. Johns College from his former college. The transfer meant that he would be moving into a new environment. In his former college, Andrew operated as a day scholar where he could always go home in the evening and spend time with his parents. Besides, he had many friends, and the former college helped students in selecting the appropriate subjects to undertake. The college also took students through a counseling session, which enabled them to identify their religious beliefs and values. Unfortunately, Andrew transferred right before he could enjoy all these services, which were available in his former college. Moreover, the transfer meant that he could no longer stay with his parents. Besides, he had to make new friends coupled with the responsibility of making all the decisions by himself. This aspect has pushed Andrew into depression. He suffers from psychomotor agitation, indecisiveness, hypersomnia, and is ever moody. In a bid to address these challenges, the college’s dean advised Andrew to visit Good Hope Hospital for assistance. The hospital offers psychiatric services to people suffering from depression. The institution has to come up with the most appropriate method of helping Andrew to cope with his current problem and continue with his studies. One of the best approaches is Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). This approach helps in coping with irrationalities in depressive thinking. Besides, it can help in addressing other factors that lead to depression, like fear, anxiety, and intolerance to frustration. The therapy addresses not only depression, but also all possible thoughts that might lead to depression. REBT follows the assumption that everyone is accountable to his or her actions and emotions. Besides, it believes that an individual may develop realistic views through practice and it is possible for an individual to establish deeper acceptance of oneself in life. Consequently, I hypothesize that Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy is a comprehensive approach for addressing depression among new college students. Step 2: Search & Research development This study aims at looking at the effectiveness of using Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy approach in addressing depression and all elements that lead to depression among students in colleges. Google Scholar is one of the best sources that offer numerous scholarly articles that discuss REBT and its effectiveness in dealing with multiple levels of depression. For instance, it provided numerous articles touching on rational emotive behavioral therapy. In a bid to narrow down the number of sources, I had to include the term “depression” in my search. Numerous scholars have already come up with articles on how REBT facilitates in dealing with depression and depressive emotions. Besides, there exist various books touc
