Psychology From The Islamic Perspective

I am lucky to not only have read this book but to have studied it with the author herself as part of a course in Psychology I am taking. However, let me assure any one interested in this subject that this is not a boring academic book that discusses and criticizes theories of the past, rather it is a unique treatise that speaks about the secular theories on this subject in light of the Quran and Sunnah - similarities and uncompromising differences. My point of interest and intrigue however was the discussion on religiosity and mental health. Having seen family members suffer mental health issues, this has always been something I wanted to learn more about. This is not something discussed very often and Aisha Utz shows how even other religions are discussing the benefits of building a close connection with God - not only with the intention of finding God but to really help find ourselves... A must read for any one studying in this field or any one looking for an intellectual read.
