Islam; Counselling & advice services; Psychotherapy

Islamic counselling is a form of counselling which incorporates spirituality into the therapeutic process. Until now there has been little material available on the subject with no one agreed definition of Islamic counselling and what it involves. There has also been a rapidly growing population of Muslims in Western societies with a corresponding rise in need of psychological and counselling services. Islamic Counselling: An Introduction to theory and practice presents a basic understanding of Islamic counselling for counsellors and Islamic counsellors, and provides an understanding of counselling approaches congruent with Islamic beliefs and practices from a faith-based perspective.

The book is designed as an introduction for counsellors, its goal is to inform the reader about how the diverse roles of the Islamic counsellor fit together in a comprehensive way and to provide the guidelines that can be potentially integrated into a theoretical framework for use. The book is divided into two parts. Section one: Context and Background, and Section two: Assessment, Models and Intervention Strategies.

Islamic Counselling encompasses both current theory, research and an awareness of the practice implications in delivering appropriate and effective counselling interventions with Muslim clients. It will be essential reading for both professionals and students alike.

Reviews for Islamic Counselling: An Introduction to theory and practice

A comprehensive and well-structured book from a psycho-religious perspective. This book fills a gap in the field of Islamic counselling. I highly recommend it to students, professionals and anyone with an interest in the subject. - Soha Rajeev, Soul Talk & IOU At best this could become an essential source for psychotherapy students, and at the very least could spur others on to write more. The rich inspiring ideas of psychic construct and healing in Islam may then build, with various descriptions and models enriching the world of therapy. - Mrs Rukiya Rose MBACP Senior Accred. Dip.
