Spiritual Integration in Islāmic Psychotherapy offers readers a profound exploration of the therapist's inner world and its impact on therapeutic practice.

Through introspective reflections and practical insights, readers embark on a transformative journey into the world of an Islāmic psychotherapist, going beyond technical skills and theoretical knowledge by emphasising the character, intention, and spiritual connection of the therapist with God (Alláh). The book introduces the unique role of the Islāmic psychotherapist, discussing their responsibilities, skills, and qualifications. It emphasises the importance of ethical conduct, continuous learning, and self-reflection, recognising the profound influence of the therapist's character, intentions, and spiritual connection on the healing process. It also explores integrating Islāmic principles into therapeutic practice and provides guidance on tailoring interventions to align with the religious and cultural backgrounds of Muslim clients. Real-life case studies, practical techniques and strategies and concrete suggestions for incorporating Qur’ânic verses, supplications, and spiritual practices into therapy are featured throughout.

Spiritual Integration in Islāmic Psychotherapy serves as an invaluable resource for Islāmic psychotherapists, empowering them to deepen their understanding of how their religion/spirituality intersect with their clinical work to ultimately better serve their clients.
