Islmically Modified Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

This book outlines the methods and practice of Islmically Modified Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (IMCBT), a modified version of CBT adapted to the Muslim clients preferences, culture, and religion. The book begins by establishing IMCBTs fidelity to the core competencies and evidence-based practices of CBT while also introducing new unique features and interventions related to Muslim clients. It uses real-life cases to off er practical strategies for overcoming stigma, forming the therapeutic alliance, structuring the session, and utilising the clients faith for coping and problem-solving. Chapters comprehensively provide CBT skills competencies with Islmic modifications for a range of topics including case conceptualisation, reframing, cognitive restructuring, and advanced coping strategies for addressing interpersonal conflicts and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. The book also offers both proscriptive and prescriptive ethical guidance by showcasing instances where clients experienced negative outcomes with other practitioners to emphasise the dangers of not properly preparing for and understanding how to work with Muslims who prioritise their faith. This book will appeal to practitioners, educators, and students who are seeking deeper ways of adapting their practice, teaching, or learning to the Muslim clients needs while also maintaining fidelity to the core features of CBT.
