The book starts by analyzing the convergence of Islmic spirituality and psychotherapy, discussing the importance of decolonizing psychological knowledge and presenting the foundations of Islmic psychotherapy. Next, it analyzes various psychological approaches such as psychoanalytic therapy, client-centred therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy and discusses the congruences or dissonances of each approach with Islmic spirituality. Finally, the book examines the relationship between emotion and mental health from an Islmic perspective and reflects on the integration of Islmic spirituality in psychotherapy, providing practical strategies and tools for Islmic psychotherapists.
