Full Description
Islāmically Integrated Psychotherapy and Domestic Abuse offers a culturally sensitive and comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing domestic abuse within Muslim communities.
The book begins by exploring what constitutes domestic abuse, drawing on British government and WHO definitions alongside insights from the Qur'ân and Sunnah to present an Islāmically integrated perspective. Khalida Haque then outlines the therapeutic framework through which her work has been designed, developed, and established. This foundation enables the thoughtful integration of Islāmic psychology with contemporary psychotherapeutic approaches in practice. Chapters focused on therapeutic work with individuals, couples, families, and groups are enriched with case vignettes, illustrating how theory and Islāmic principles come together in real world interventions. The final chapters extend the discussion beyond the therapy room, sharing insights from community based work in schools, with social services, third sector organisations, Muslim led agencies, mosques, and local centres.
Islāmically Integrated Psychotherapy and Domestic Abuse is invaluable for practitioners, students, and community workers seeking to navigate the intersections of faith, culture, and therapeutic practice when responding to and working within cases of domestic abuse in Muslim communities.
