This book provides an understanding of behavioural and substance
disorders from an Islāmic psychology perspective. Despite the
religious prohibitions against the use of most substances, addiction
is a significant psychosocial and spiritual problem both in Muslim
majority countries and among Muslim minorities. However, many Muslim
with substance use disorder have been left to suffer in silence
because addictive behaviours are considered taboo. Not only do
feelings of guilt, shame, and a fear of being stigmatised and excluded
from community prevent many from seeking therapeutic and spiritual
interventions, there are also limited culturally sensitive service
provisions offering help for Muslims with addictive behaviours. This
book will synthesise the body of knowledge of the psychology of
addiction from an Islāmic perspectives to foster awareness and
understanding of addictive behaviours to break that stigma. It will
also provide knowledge required to respond effectively to Muslim
clients that psychotherapists and counsellors might encounter in their
clinical practice, presenting a step-by-step application of
Rassool’s Islāmic Psychotherapy Practice model in working with
clients with addictive behaviours. This book will be a valuable read
for Islāmic psychologists, psychotherapists, and counsellors,
addiction researchers and specialists, and students in these fields.
