Description
Summary:The book “Islam and Mental Health” seeks to examine Islam as a resource and a liability for mental health among Muslims. This paper describes the translation of this book into Persian, examines how mental health professionals in Iran view its contents and reviews whether the information is consistent with Iranian religious beliefs based on views of Shiite Islamic scholars. For this purpose reviewing relevant research and Islamic sources, the book’s text was presented both independently and together to religious scholars and to mental health professionals for comments. The results revealed consistencies and inconsistencies with Muslim beliefs and Iranian cultural traditions.
