Full Description
Working with Crisis and Trauma from an Islāmic Perspective provides a holistic framework and treatment methods for working with trauma and crises, framed within an Islāmic Psychology paradigm.
The book begins by conceptualizing trauma and existing models of understanding treatment and then places trauma and crises within an Islāmic viewpoint. The authors focus on the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and Islāmic Psychology to rationalize and explain the effects of trauma and how it presents while proposing treatment methods within this context. The final chapter uses case studies to illustrate practical applications and includes coping strategies directly from authentic Islāmic sources, and the sixth chapter focuses on the legacy of trauma in terms of post traumatic growth.
This book will be essential reading for professionals in the fields of psychology and mental health looking to understand how Islāmic Psychology practices can be presented as a treatment intervention for patients experiencing trauma and gain insight into how to incorporate these protocols into their own practice.
