"Maristāns and Islāmic Psychology" traces the history of Islamic healing institutions—spaces that treated the whole person with compassion, dignity, and spiritual care—and offers a vision for how that model can serve us today.

As a hallmark of Islamic Civilisation, the maristāns were institutions of healing that boasted the world’s first treatment centres for treating psychological illnesses. They also served as the centres where theoretical concepts developed by early Muslim scholars—physicians, theologians, and philosophers—who contributed to the creation of IP were translated into practical, clinical applications. A detailed examination of the treatment modalities within these historical treatment centres provides a promising model for creating a holistic approach to psychological healing that is grounded in Islāmic heritage. This text completes such an examination, highlighting the practical IP treatment methods in fourteen maristāns geographically spread throughout the Muslim world to bridge this centuries-long model of psychological care to the modern context. As part of the Islāmic Psychology and Psychotherapy Focus series, this book provides a foundation for mental health professionals who either directly deliver mental health services or are involved in creating theories, institutions, or spaces of IP and psychotherapeutic practices. Review After centuries of obscurity, the priceless treasures of Islamic civilization are finally being unearthed, piece by piece. The treasure this timely book succeeds in bringing to light is the Islamic pattern of holistic health care in general and mental health care in particular, the latter being a first in the history of civilization. Of utmost interest is the ability of medieval physicians to harness every possible resource in their environment, thereby achieving truly remarkable results. –Dr. Mostafa al-Badawi, Consultant Psychiatrist and Author of, among other titles, Man and the Universe and Spiritual Significance in Islamic Architecture.
