Applying Islamic Principles to Clinical Mental Health Care

This text outlines for the first time a structured articulation of an emerging Islamic orientation to psychotherapy, a framework presented and known as Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP). TIIP is an integrative model of mental health care that is grounded in the core principles of Islam while drawing upon empirical truths in psychology. The book introduces the basic foundations of TIIP, then delves into the writings of early Islamic scholars to provide 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 as well as techniques drawn inherently from the Islamic tradition. A methodology of case formulation is provided that allows for effective treatment planning and translation into therapeutic application. Throughout 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 anyone with an interest in spiritually oriented psychotherapies will greatly benefit from this illustrative and practical text.

Introducing Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy

It is said that everything is written even before the birth of the child. His destiny is written and we are but a puppet in hands of God. God has made this universe indeed and set rules that we may not know fully because God alone is the all knowing. He in all probability has millions of rules and laws such as law of gravitation, vaastu, fengshui, Chinese astrology, vedic astrology, numerology, dowsing and not denying some sciences that we developed like Chemistry, Physics. God has set a path to run this world and these hidden knowledge were discovered only when God allowed. This book teaches basics of understanding one of many rules and laws which we term as Vedic Astrology.
