“This book is a timely and meaningful work that conveys the context, methodologies, and reflections of the author on the emerging field of Islamic Psychology. It is an impressive contribution to the psychology literature. I highly recommend it to those engaged in academic research and clinical practice.” Amber Haque, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, Qatar. “Written by one of the leading contemporary figures in the field of Islamic psychology, this promising book is one of the most important contributions to the subject to date. Rothman’s goal of developing an understanding of human psychology based on an authentic and indigenous Islamic perspective is noble and critically important. Furthermore, this work serves as a fine example of continuing to develop psychological theory and practice within the framework of the great legacy of the Islamic intellectual tradition as well as modern psychology. This text, which is of great benefit to readers, is filled with insights from the nearly twenty years of clinical experience Rothman brings to the discussion, and it is known for the humility and intimacy that permeate the work, which is both scientifically rigorous and speaks sincerely to the heart. This book is relevant to many areas of research.
