Buku ini memberikan penjelasan yang sangat konkrit tentang bagaimana caranya melakukan REBT dalam konteks peer counseling. Dijelaskan juga bahwa REBT dalam konteks ini berbeda dengan psikoterapi yang sesungguhnya (misalnya penggunaan waktu yang lebih ringkas). Contoh-contoh pertanyaan yang dapat diajukan juga sangat membantu pembaca (terutama yang sedang belajar REBT) untuk dapat lebih memahami lagi bagaimana caranya melakukan REBT.
