Description:
Contributors raised in Islamic societies but trained in Western biomedicine examine cultural factors in understanding psychopathology and traditional and modern treatments in diverse Islamic contexts, including Muslim immigrants in Europe. "Al-junun" is comparable to the Western concept of mental illness, but also connotes deviation from cultural norms and wise fools. Fourteen papers discuss issues related to integrating Prophetic teaching with Westernization. Al-Issa is the General Secretary of the International Arab Psychological Association; he authored the Handbook of Culture and Mental Illness: An International Perspective (same publisher, 1995).
