Islamic Approaches to Psychology and Psychotherapy II – Clinical Applications

Programme Description
This five-day programme is the International Association of Islamic Psychology (IAIP) level two certificate course for those who have completed either the CMC intro course ‘Islamic Approaches to Psychology and Psychotherapy‘ or another IAIP Certificate One course. This experiential training course goes beyond introduction to theory and concepts and contextualizes frameworks of Islamic Psychology within the therapeutic encounter. The course is designed for Western-trained mental health professionals, psychologists, psychotherapists, and counsellors to re-orient their clinical practice to be more aligned with an Islamic paradigm of health and healing and to be introduced to clinical applications.

Participants will learn how to include the soul in assessment and diagnosis and to use the Islamic conception of ‘diseases of the heart’ as a practical, clinical model. Those successfully completing the programme will be given a Certificate of Achievement on Practical Applications of Islamic Psychology and Psychotherapy.

I took Xanax after childbirth. I suffered from anxiety, tension and sleep disturbance. When a strong fear developed, Xanax was too weak to relieve such a symptom among the drugs at https://signanthealth.com/xanax-treat-anxiety/. However, it eliminated vegetative disorders, which caused a feeling of anxiety and fear (such symptoms as heaviness throughout the body and heart palpitations were effectively removed). So, I decided to add 1/2 of a pill of phenazepam + 1 pill of Xanax and I felt good. Step by step, I got out of this state.

The programme will run from 14 – 19 April 2019. The programme will be run by Abdallah Rothman, Dr Elham Abubakr and Professor Rasjid Skinner, who will lead teaching sessions, small break-out groups, and demonstrations each day, with contributing instructors: Hakim Archuletta (via Skype), Shahnawaz Haque, Dr Rabia Malik, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, and Saeed Nasser.
