Family Therapy with Muslims is the first guide for mental health professionals who work with Muslims in the family therapy setting. The book opens with a section defining the similarities across Muslim cultures, the effects of postcolonialism on Muslims, and typical Muslim family dynamics. The author then devotes a chapter to different models of family therapy and how they can specifically be applied to working with Muslim families. Case studies throughout the book involve families of many different backgrounds living in the West—including both immigrant and second generation families—that will give professionals concrete tools to work with clients of their own.

Reviews for Family Therapy with Muslims

Rarely are professional books page-turners, but I could not put this down. Manijeh Daneshpour provides new information for students as well as veteran family therapists. With nuance, she focuses on differences without absolutes, helping us to build trust with families with more collectivist (less individualistic) cultural values. Indeed as an ambassador between Western and Eastern therapy mindsets, she helps us stay relevant amidst community change. -Pauline Boss, PhD, professor emeritus, University of Minnesota; author, Ambiguous loss (1999) and Loss, Trauma and Resilience: Therapeutic Work with Ambiguous Loss (2011) This book is rich with information about how to provide family counseling services to Muslim clients using contemporary family counseling theories. The author's gentle and persuasive arguments in discussing cultural context will help clinicians reflect on their own self as well as serving as recommendations to conduct family therapy. Case examples and issues unique to Muslim family clients are used to illustrate how each family counseling theory/technique is being carried out. -Zaidy MohdZain, PhD, dean and professor, Southern Arkansas University
