Healing the Soul

Beschreibung

This book examines the intersection of Islamic spirituality and psychotherapy, analyzing how Islamic principles can be integrated into therapeutic practices to foster mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Through a comprehensive exploration of Islamic teachings and contemporary psychological theories, it aims to offer valuable insights for both practitioners and students of Islamic psychotherapy.

The book starts by analyzing the convergence of Islamic spirituality and psychotherapy, discussing the importance of decolonizing psychological knowledge and presenting the foundations of Islamic psychotherapy. Next, it analyzes various psychological approaches - such as psychoanalytic therapy, client-centred therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy - and discusses the congruences or dissonances of each approach with Islamic spirituality. Finally, the book examines the relationship between emotion and mental health from an Islamic perspective and reflects on the integrationof Islamic spirituality in psychotherapy, providing practical strategies and tools for Islamic psychotherapists.

Exploring the Intersection of Islamic Spirituality and Psychotherapy: Healing the Soul will be an invaluable resource for mental health practitioners such as counsellors and psychotherapists, as well as for scholars and students, interested in learning how to bridge the gap between Islamic spirituality and psychotherapy, offering insights and guidance for those seeking to integrate these domains and developing a deeper understanding of Islamic psychotherapy.
