ABSTRACT
Investigations by Muslim psychologists and theologians have begun to explore Islamically oriented theoretical models of mental health care that are rooted in Islamic belief, though such an undertaking is significantly underdeveloped despite the growing need for the mental health care. In 2017 Kaplick, P. and Skinner, R. provided an alternative review that dated back a further 40 years and highlighted three major approaches to the topic in the literature: the Islamic filter approach, the Islamic psychology approach, and the comparison approach. Kaplick and Skinner described the filter approach as a modality of critiquing Western paradigms, while the Islamic psychology approach seeks to offer some kind of substantial response, although they agree with Haque et al. in their identification of the limited discussions around what such a response would entail, coupled with insufficient theoretical models and access to traditional Islamic sources.
