As a trademark of the Islāmic 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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 in order to bridge this centuries-long model of psychological care to the modern context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 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 psychotherapeautic practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Rania Awaad\u003c\/b\u003e, MD, is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Stanford University School of Medicine, USA, where she is the Director of the Stanford Muslim Mental Health \u0026amp; Islāmic Psychology Lab.
