Description from the publisher:
Book 1 --
In "A Reference Guide for Character Development," Dr. Feryad A. Hussain blends modern psychology with verses from the Qur’an and authentic hadiths. Through an Islamic reframing of eighty-five therapeutic themes – including self-control, patience, accepting advice, anger/aggression, being grateful, confidence, coping, flexibility, guilt, and many more – Dr. Hussain draws on her extensive experience as a clinical psychologist to offer alternative understandings based on Allah’s message to humankind. The text provides logic and divine comfort to help clients and therapists resolve their issues through faith, contemplation, and prayer.
Book 2 --
"Managing Your Emotions" is an Islamically-centred self-help approach to managing difficult emotions. These are experienced by most, if not all, of us due to the pressures and demands we face in our modern, complex society. Using examples from her clinical experience with patients, Dr. Feryad A. Hussain presents a wide range of emotions – including anger, sadness, and fear – to connect her ideas to key therapeutic approaches to provide an Islamic framework for their implementation in personal character development.
Book 3 --
"Recognising and Changing Destructive Behaviours" uses verses from the Qur’an, selected hadiths, and modern psychological theory to bring to light detrimental behaviours and guide readers in altering action through thought. Dr. Feryad A. Hussain takes ideal Islamic behaviour as a goal and presents realistic and practical advice and steps towards attaining this objective. She steers readers towards reflecting Islam in their thoughts and actions, keeping their lives in this world and the hereafter in mind.
