Psychotherapy for Muslims

According to international statistics listed in this ebook, many people who grow up in some Muslim-dominated countries have a dramatically higher risk of being psychologically injured. This risk remains high if, for example, parenting styles that lead to trauma and domestic violence among adults continue even after one migrates to live in a new, secular country. Whether the causes of trauma in many Muslim families are actually rooted in Islam or the Qur'an is not the subject of this ebook - that is for Islamic theologians to decide. However, for a Muslim or Muslimah who wants to see a psychotherapist, it is important to realize that some behaviors that are more common in some Islamic societies are considered violations of the psyche in secular societies, which can lead to trauma (including transgenerational trauma), depression, anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, PTSD, etc., and also aggression and narcissism. This information is also important for psychotherapists, because problems can only be identified as such if they are not considered "e;normal"e;. In this ebook, you will also learn what psychotherapists mean by the terms "e;Islamparadox,"e; "e;Muslimahparadox,"e; and the "e;Islamic Challenge."e; In addition, current concepts in the psychology and sociology of religion are briefly summarized.
