Riassunto:

This book explores the integration of narrative therapy within the framework of Islāmic psychotherapy, combining modern therapeutic practices with the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of Islām.

Narrative therapy, which emphasises the importance of personal stories in shaping an individual’s identity and experiences, finds a natural complement in the Islāmic tradition, where narration has always played an important role. This integration provides a culturally sensitive therapeutic model that respects and utilises the client’s faith and cultural background. The book details how narrative therapy principles align with Islāmic teachings, particularly the emphasis on introspection, personal responsibility, and the transformative power of stories found in the Qur’ân and hādith. It provides detailed guidelines and techniques for therapists to use narrative therapy with Muslim clients, including culturally relevant storytelling methods and exercises. These techniques are illustrated with real-life examples and case studies. In addition to practical techniques, the book addresses the ethical considerations involved in integrating narrative therapy with Islāmic psychotherapy along with emerging trends, ongoing research, and potential areas for further development.

This book offers an original contribution by developing a culturally and spiritually integrated model of narrative therapy tailored for Muslim clients. By aligning therapeutic techniques with Islāmic teachings, it provides mental health professionals with practical, faith-sensitive tools, making it especially valuable for therapists, counsellors, and scholars working within Muslim communities.
