This text outlines for the first time a structured articulation of an emerging Islamic orientation to psychotherapy, a framework presented and referred to as Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP).
TIIP is an integrative model of mental health care that may be grounded in the core principles of Islam even as drawing upon empirical truths in psychology. The book introduces the basic foundations of TIIP, then delves into the writings of early Islamic scholars to supply a richer understanding of the Islamic intellectual heritage as it pertains to human psychology and mental health. Beyond theory, the book provides readers with practical interventional skills illustrated with case studies in addition to techniques drawn inherently from the Islamic tradition. A methodology of case formulation is so long as allows for effective remedy planning and translation into therapeutic application. During its chapters, the book situates TIIP within an Islamic epistemological and ontological framework, providing a discussion of the nature and composition of the human psyche, its drives, health, pathology, mechanisms of psychological change, and principles of healing.
Mental health practitioners who treat Muslim patients, Muslim clinicians, students of the behavioral sciences and related disciplines, and somebody with an interest in spiritually oriented psychotherapies will greatly get pleasure from this illustrative and practical text.
