Islamic psychology has gained increasing attention in recent years, driven by the global movement to decolonize knowledge and growing mental health awareness among Muslim communities. While the study of the soul (psyche) has deep roots in the Islamic tradition, the modern field of Islamic psychology is still taking shape, striving to establish itself within academic and scientific circles. A key challenge in this field is reorienting the understanding of the human psyche, often shaped by Western epistemological frameworks, to fully embrace and integrate the spiritual dimension of human experience.
In this lecture, Dr. Abdallah Rothman, a leading expert on Islamic psychology, will explore recent trends and advancements in the field. He will introduce his Islamic Model of the Soul and discuss its clinical applications in psychology, pastoral care, and holistic wellbeing. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session to delve deeper into these transformative approaches.
This event is designed for university professors and students of pastoral and spiritual care, CPE supervisors, Muslim medical professionals, therapists, social workers, and community leaders.
