This study aimed to develop and test the validity and reliability of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Healing (CBT-H) module among CBT-H practitioners, consisting of counselors in Malaysia. The CBT-H module, developed by Mohammad Aziz Shah (2018) based on Aaron Beck’s theoretical CBT, is designed to restructure individuals’ thinking patterns. The research design is quantitative, focusing on the content validity and reliability on the CBT-H module. A number of panel experts (N=13), all CBT-H practitioners, were selected to answer two questionnaire; a) the module content validity questionnaire by Russell and the module strategy and activity appropriateness questionnaire by Mohammad Aziz Shah. The reliability value was obtained from 43 respondents who completed the CBT-H module and answered the module reliability questionnaire. The findings indicated a high overall percentage of CBT-H module content validity based on Russell (92.67%) and overall strategy and activity appropriateness validity based on Mohammad Aziz Shah (87.98%). The reliability coefficient value for the CBT-H module was also high (.87). Therefore, the study results demonstrate that the CBT-H module has high content validity and reliability among Malaysian counselors. This study indicated that the CBT-H module can be an alternative to enhance counseling skills and techniques in helping relationships.
