Muslim Women and Psychology brings together the voices of British Muslim women practitioners, researchers and educators working across psychology, psychotherapy and mental health. Readers will discover groundbreaking insights, frameworks and approaches shaped through lived experience and developed within faith-attuned and decolonised therapeutic practice. This book is offered as an invitation to a heritage that has long existed but has rarely been written down.Chapters span a wide range of topics to offer breadth and diversity of experiences. Inviting contributions from Muslim women working in a diverse range of practices, topics explored include:● Tracing the grassroots history of Islamic mental health work in Britain from the 1980s, led from An-Nisa Society.● Exploration of identity when tracing the journey of becoming a British Nigerian Yoruba Muslic psychologist, and what African and Islamic psychology offer Black Muslim clients.● Presenting the Road to Recovery, a faith-informed recovery programme for Muslim female survivors of domestic violence and abuse.● Working as the UK’s first Muslim, female sex and porn addiction therapist, and exploring the Islamic therapeutic framework underpinning practice.● Introduction to the Rahmah Approach to Psychology, a Trauma-informed Systems Thinking framework for creating safer spaces, services, and relational leadership rooted in faith and cultural attunement.This book is essential reading for mental health practitioners of all disciplines, including psychotherapists, psychologists, counsellors, allied health practitioners and trainees. It will also be highly relevant for readers interested in decolonial psychology, Muslim mental health and women’s voices.
