​
​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.

Abstract
A uniquely Islamic theoretical framework for an Islamic psychology has yet to be established. To do so requires that we understand how human beings are conceptualized within the cosmology that characterizes the Islamic tradition. This paper presents a model of the soul from within an Islamic paradigm, generated through a grounded theory analysis of interviews with 18 key informants with relevant academic or religious expertise. The model elaborates aspects of a mechanism for the development of the soul that constitutes a potential foundation for an Islamic theory of human psychology and has particular relevance for Islamic approaches to psychotherapy.

Integrating Islamic Traditions in Modern Psychology: Research Trends in Last Ten Years

9/2/2016

 
Researchers from around the world have conducted numerous studies in the last few decades exploring the unique cultural and religious nuances of the application of clinical psychology to Muslim clients as a response to the traditional Eurocentric narratives of psychology. This paper is a review of the last 10 years of research within this domain. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify research topical trends in the literature related to the subject. The following five themes emerged: 1) Unification of western psychological models with Islamic beliefs and practices; 2) Research on historical accounts of Islamic Psychology and its rebirth in the modern era; 3) Development of theoretical models and frameworks within Islamic Psychology; 4) Development of interventions and techniques within Islamic psychology; and 5) Development of assessment tools and scales normed for use with Muslims. Recommendations are also provided to help direct future research efforts to expand underdeveloped areas in this field.
