Abstract
An Islamically integrated psychotherapy approach was initially
presented in a publication by Keshavarzi and Haque, outlining a
model of care based on the contributions of early Muslim scholars
(Keshavarzi & Haque, 2013). Keshavarzi and Khan further
developed this model and termed it "Traditional Islamically-
Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP)", with the term 'traditional' used as
a qualifier for its grounding in traditional Sunni theology (Keshavarzi
& Khan, 2018). A more comprehensive discussion of the
epistemological and ontological foundations and TIIP's practical
applications to clinical mental health practice was provided in TIIP's
first major book publication with the contributions of other like-
minded experts and scholars (Keshavarzi et al., 2020). TIIP has
become the dominant modality of psychotherapy used in the
treatment of patients for various types of problems, such as Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and marital
discord at Khalil Center, an Islamically-oriented outpatient mental
health center with its international headquarters near Chicago, USA.
Data collected at the Khalil Center supports its efficacy in reducing
symptoms of psychological and functional distress (Keshavarzi,
2022). Under the umbrella of Khalil Center, a three-level training
curriculum has been developed, with Level I as an introduction to
TIIP's foundations, Level II exploring advanced application, Level III
offering clinical supervision, and finally, certification. TIIP training
has become hugely popular with international demand, and Levels I
& II trainings have been conducted in the United States, Canada,
Türkiye, and Pakistan.
