Wasathiyah Islam in Psychotherapy: Perspectives on Psychology and Mental Health in the Work of Hamdani Bakran Adz-Dzaky

Setya Utami, Muhammad Aji Nugroho

Abstract


Abstract:

The concept of Wasathiyah in Islam emphasizes the balance between spiritual, moral, and psychological dimensions in individual life. This study analyzes the application of Wasathiyah in psychology and mental health by referring to the book Islamic Counseling and Psychotherapy by Hamdani Bakran Adz-Dzaky. The method used is content analysis of the concepts in the book. The results showed that the Wasathiyah-based Islamic counseling and psychotherapy approach offers a more balanced therapy by integrating scientific methods, religious values, and Sufism. This approach avoids extremism and emphasizes harmony between cognitive, emotional, and spiritual aspects. This research confirms that Islamic counseling and psychotherapy that refers to Wasathiyah principles can be a relevant and effective therapy model in the context of modern mental health. Therefore, the integration of Islamic values in psychological approaches needs to be continuously developed to improve the psychological well-being of Muslim individuals.
