Developing a Model of Islamic Psychology and Psychotherapy – Islamic Theology and Contemporary Understandings of Psychology by Abdallah Rothman
DEVELOPING A MODEL OF ISLAMIC PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
At a time when there is an increasing focus on the need to adapt approaches to psychotherapy to accommodate the cultural and religious/spiritual orientations of clients, this book explores psychology from an Islamic paradigm and shows how foundational assumptions about human nature can inform Islamic psychotherapy.
Historically, the task of reconciling theology and belief in God with contemporary notions of psychology has been difficult.
This book engages with that task by presenting the foundations of a comprehensive framework for psychology from an Islamic perspective and, from this, for Islamic psychotherapy using a constructivist grounded theory approach to the development of new theory.
This is accomplished through a systematic qualitative, data-grounded analysis of concepts of ‘the person’ or ‘soul’ within the Islamic tradition that is relevant to an Islamic paradigm of psychology, which was carried out by the author in a rigorous research study with two phases spanning over four years, from 2015 to 2019.
Through the analysis of input from the scholars and practitioners in relevant fields who were participants in the research study, the book explores how these concepts can be applied in clinical work.
From this, a model of a uniquely Islamic approach to psychotherapy is developed, starting from and grounded in the Islamic tradition (rather than being a secular model with Islam ‘added in’).
This model offers a fascinating and engaging view of human nature and development from an Islamic perspective and presents a practical framework for Islamically-integrated psychotherapy.
