Beskrivning

This book provides theoretical foundations and practical guidelines for an ethically competent integration of Islam and mental health practice. The book starts with a foundational introduction to the interface between Islam as a religion and mental health practice. It provides a summary of the ethical challenges and concerns raised in mainstream psychological literature along with a set of Islamically informed ethical guidelines for the integration of Islam and mental health practice. Taking into account the richness of the Islāmic tradition and the nuances of the Islāmic and Muslim cultures, these guidelines will include both general principles and specific considerations. The book concludes by exploring Islāmic ethics outside of the therapy room in relation to research and social justice.Filling a critical void in both Islāmic mental health literature and ethics literatures, this text provides mental health practitioners, instructors and researchers, and students worldwide with the tools for an ethical integration of Islam within mental health practices.
