Working With Crisis and Trauma From an Islamic Perspective

Working with Crisis and Trauma from an Islamic Perspective provides a holistic framework and treatment methods for working with trauma and crises, framed within an Islamic Psychology paradigm. The book begins by conceptualizing trauma and existing models of understanding treatment and then places trauma and crises within an Islamic viewpoint. The authors focus on the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and Islamic 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 Islamic 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 Islamic 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.
