dc.description.abstractThe main purpose of this study is to discern whether Islamically Integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy (ICBT) is more effective for Muslim clients than traditional Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). Traditional CBT may be described as very individualistic, and this does not coincide with the collectivist nature of Islam, thus tailoring it to be more consistent with the beliefs of Islam, will be more effective for these clients. The findings of this thematic literature review analysis show that the use of Islamically Integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy (ICBT) is more productive when helping Muslim clients dealing with depression. The findings from the studies analysed suggest that Muslim clients found that when their religion and spirituality were included in the therapy process, they were more likely to stay in therapy and benefit from the tools and strategies used. This critical review involved a methodological analysis of ten key studies. An examination of many additional studies revealed the efficacy of Islamically Integrated therapy in clients healing from depression. Therapists have contested the practicability of using CBT among the Muslim community. Debates have fixated on CBT’s individualistic mindset and its compatibility with clients where Islam infuses most aspects of their lives. When used with Muslim clients, however, results may be improved by adapting traditional CBT. By culturally adapting traditional CBT treatment, a therapist may be better able to focus on different symptoms and diagnoses in their Muslim clients. The findings indicate that given the auspicious outcomes of ICBT, it can improve Muslim clients' abilities to cope actively with disorders that affect their mental well-being.
