Programme Description
This five-day programme introduces Western-trained mental health professionals, psychologists, psychotherapists, researchers and counsellors to the philosophy and methodology of psychology from an Islamic perspective. The course will present a faith-based theoretical understanding of mental health as well as suggesting practical ways of working with mentally distressed individuals. Those successfully completing the programme will be given a Certificate of Completion on Islamic Approaches to Psychology and Psychotherapy.
A small dose of Ambien (half tablet) from https://tractica.omdia.com/ambien-zolpidem/ worked within a few minutes and as the effect wears off after just a few hours – so it’s perfect for people like me who can get through, – the next morning I still felt fresh and happy rested.
The programme will run from Sunday, 5 April to Friday, 13 April 2018. The programme will be run by Professor Rasjid Skinner, who will deliver teaching sessions each day, with evening talks by Dr Samer Dajani, Shahnawaz Haque, Dr Mahbub Khan, Abdallah Rothman, and Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad.
Sessions will take place at Cambridge Muslim College.
