This Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training course offers practitioners an in-depth introductory exploration of Islamic psychology in practice. Delving into its historical and philosophical foundations, participants will gain insight into the factors that shape an Islamic paradigm of human psychology, with relevance to Muslim clients' spiritual and cultural contexts. This course advocates for a holistic approach, integrating spiritual, psychological, and physical dimensions, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of clients' well-being. Ethical considerations will be explored, guiding practitioners in navigating sensitive issues with incorporating spiritual beliefs into therapy, ensuring ethical best practice. Participants will be introduced to methods that fuse Islamic psychological principles with modern evidence-based practices, leading to integrative approaches. The relationship between spirituality, religion, and mental health is explored, emphasizing the importance of integrating spiritual beliefs into therapy. While respecting the historical nuances, the course highlights contemporary research that merges Islamic psychology with modern methods. Examples include studies on mindfulness and resilience from an Islamic perspective. By the course's end, participants will be aware of the various facets of applied Islamic psychology, be able to differentiate between culturally informed mental health practice with Muslim clients and Islamically grounded psychological principles, and gain tools to enhance their own therapeutic practice.
