"As the first mainstream textbook on Islamic counselling, I think Rassool has successfully created a comprehensive resource to further develop culturally competent counselling for Muslim clients as well as providing a faith-based practice model for counsellors who are looking to offer Islamic counselling."- Myira Khan is a counsellor in private practice and founder of the Muslim Counsellor and Psychotherapist Network, Therapy Today "A comprehensive and well-structured book from a psycho-religious perspective. This book fills a gap in the field of Islamic counselling. I highly recommend it to students, professionals and anyone with an interest in the subject."- Soha Rajeev, Soul Talk & IOU "At best this could become an essential source for psychotherapy students, and at the very least could spur others on to write more. The rich inspiring ideas of psychic construct and healing in Islam may then build, with various descriptions and models enriching the world of therapy." - Mrs Rukaya Rose MBACP Senior Accred. Dip.

Islamic Counselling "G. Hussein Rassool has written Islamic Counsellingfor both Muslims and non-Muslims. The book introduces Sunni Islam to Western counsellors who face more and more Muslim clients and need a quick reference to understand them. The Muslim audience, in turn, will come away with a deeper understanding of how Western notions and practices of counselling fit into their beliefs, and why some are more appropriate than others. Rassool [outlines] the practical and rich interpretation of contemplation. that helps to make the book worthwhile. Placing this alongside certain Western counselling models opens some doors between Islam and Western psychology." - Brian Welter, Journal of Shi'a Islamic Studies "Islamic Counselling.

successfully differentiates Islamic counseling theory from a wide range of mainstream therapeutic models. It serves as an itroductory guide to support academics, clinicians, paraprofessionals, and students in the understanding of and in th proper care of the Muslim population in the West. Islamic Counselling is well organized and comprehensive, and it provides considerable theoretical integration. The book is well structured. The book offers excellent integrative analyses of Islamic counseling with a large range of mainstream counseling approaches and problems. Islamic Counsellingprovides both breadth and depth of coverage. The author appears highly knowledge about spiritual issues and frequently refers to religious sources.  Islamic Counsellingis likely to garner wide appeal.
