SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
More than ever, researchers are attempting to explore various religions and their integration into psychotherapy to provide more effective therapeutic care to clients who practice various faiths. Despite Islam being the fastest growing religion in the world and the significant population of Muslims in the United States, there is a lack of psychological literature that speaks to how to effectively integrate Islam into psychotherapeutic practice with Muslim clients. As a result of minimal resources, the Muslim population has many unmet psychosocial needs. In addition, there is a rich presence of psychological thought in Islamic literature that is hardly researched nor accessed. Understanding Islamic psychology and how two seemingly separate fields like Islam and psychology can be integrated together can provide not only implications for more effective and helpful therapeutic practices with Muslim clients, but it might also provide an enriching contribution to the understanding of psychology and current psychotherapeutic practices.
