An Introduction to Islamic Psychotherapy

The relationship between the individual and the society is one of the most important issues, which is of special significance in all the fields of knowledge that deal with “human being”. Islamic philosophy, in its normative aspect, highlights the importance of the attainment of happiness for human beings, and considers man to be a social being which needs to establish a healthy social relationship in order to attain happiness. On the other hand, psychotherapy, as a field of science, attaches great importance to the social aspect of man, and considers love and friendship to be symbols of the humanity of the individual which are necessary for the state of health of mind and soul, and a healthy society.
