“At least 250 different systems of psychotherapy have been noted to exist, with possibly up to more than four hundred. Most psychotherapists do not adhere strictly to one single school of thought; instead they take an eclectic approach, in which they select from the variety of techniques those that are likely to be the most appropriate and effective for a particular client.” PsychologyPsychotherapy Book:Psychology from the Islamic Perspective Source: Psychology from the Islamic Perspective
“Hamdan has also outlined several beneficial cognitions from the Islamic tradition that may be integrated into the psychotherapeutic process with religious patients. These include the following: 1. Understanding the temporal reality of this world, 2. Focusing on the hereafter, 3. Recalling the purpose and effects of distress and afflictions, 4. Trusting and relying upon Allah (سبحانه وتعالى), and 5. Focusing on the blessings of Allah (سبحانه وتعالى).” PsychologyIslamPsychotherapy Book:Psychology from the Islamic Perspective Source: Psychology from the Islamic Perspective
