Dr. Abdallah Rothman gave a talk on the state of the therapist's heart in Islamic psychotherapy at the Symposium on Psychology and Spirituality in Istanbul March 4, 2019. In this short presentation he discusses the position of an Islamic psychotherapist as innately involving an aspect of spiritual guidance given the nature of the domain of the soul. Considering this, Dr. Abdallah suggests that it becomes an ethical obligation of the therapist to be constantly engaged in a process of tazkiyat an nafs (purification of the soul) and that beyond therapeutic technique, a significant factor in the therapeutic relationship is the state of the therapist's heart for acting as a clear mirror for the client.
Dr. Abdallah Rothman was the guest on the Karima Foundation Podcast where he speaks about the need to adapt our orientation to religious knowledge to make it more accessible for practical application in today's contemporary world. He discusses the tendency for people to avoid facing themselves and the common response of "covering over" our inner truth or attempting to bypass the struggle and difficulty associated with growth and healing.

 | A new article by Dr. Abdallah Rothman has been published in the APA Journal Spirituality in Clinical Practice. |
This article builds upon an Islamic model of the soul (Rothman & Coyle, 2018) to develop a data-grounded, experience-based ‘iceberg model’ of Islamic psychotherapy. The findings and the model offer new insights for the continued development of clinical interventions within an approach to psychotherapy that has Islamic integrity and explicitly values Muslims’ religious orientations and commitments.
