Recenzje

‘It was a pleasure reading the book titled "Integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Islamic Psychotherapy for Managing Chronic Pain" written by Dr. Razia Bhatti-Ali. The Author has written this book based on her extensive professional experience with chronic pain Muslim patients and has adapted ACT by incorporating knowledge from the Quran, Hadith and Sunnah, which are major authentic sources of knowledge in Islam. Her clinical experience has enabled her to adapt ACT for Muslim patients. She has comprehensively covered therapeutic processes, assessment and intervention techniques and has also provided session-by-session guidelines for practitioners. I strongly endorse and recommend this book for teachers, researchers and health practitioners who are working with individuals from Muslim backgrounds.’ 

Prof. Rukhsana Kausar, Former Vice Chancellor, Government College for Women University, Sialkot (GCWUS), Pakistan

‘This book meets the needs of the Muslim community. It combines principles of Islamic faith with ACT theory in a neat way. Written by a consultant clinical psychologist with years of clinical experience, anyone working in a multi-cultural position will find it very useful. Given the multi-cultural nature society, the parameters of clinical work are changing. This book comes at a time when such text is very much needed. It is an excellent introduction that would be of a great significance in the clinical community as well as academia. This important book is enhancing our knowledge about the theory and treatment of culturally different clients, especially in the area of pain management.’
