Developing a Model of Islamic Psychology & Psychotherapy
Dr Abdallah Rothman
At a time when there is increasing need to offer psychotherapeutic approaches that accommodate clients’ religious and spiritual beliefs, and acknowledge the potential for healing and growth offered by religious frameworks, this book explores psychology from an Islamic paradigm and demonstrates how Islamic understandings of human nature, the self, and the soul can inform an Islamic psychotherapy.

Co-edited by Dr Abdallah Rothman with Dr Amber Haque, this book provides a bird’s eye view of the discipline’s growth that helps understand the history, challenges, and prospects of this developing field.
Both these books form part of the curriculum for the new Online Diploma in Islamic Psychology being offered by Cambridge Muslim College, commencing at the start of the new academic year.
