Model-Model Psikoterapi Islam dan Relevansinya dalam Mendukung Kesejahteraan Psikologis Individu

Abstract

The current mental health crisis highlights the need for therapeutic approaches that address not only psychological aspects but also fundamental spiritual dimensions. This article critically analyzes three models of Islamic psychotherapy and their relevance to supporting individual psychological well-being. The study employs a qualitative approach utilizing a literature review method. Primary data sources include classical texts (such as Ihya’ Ulumuddin and Madarij as-Salikin) and reputable scholarly articles, analyzed through descriptive-interpretative content analysis. The study identifies three main models: (1) Al-Ghazali’s Tazkiyat al-Nafs (Purification of the Soul) model, which emphasizes soul purification through self-awareness and the control of base desires; (2) Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya’s staged model (Takhalli, Tahalli, and Tajalli), which prioritizes the processes of cleansing, adorning, and drawing closer to God; and (3) Hamdani Bakran Adz-Dzaky’s integrative model, which combines Sufi concepts with modern psychotherapy techniques. The study finds that these three Islamic psychotherapy models are highly relevant for enhancing psychological well-being, as they offer a holistic approach that simultaneously integrates spiritual, emotional, and behavioral dimensions. This makes them a comprehensive alternative to conventional psychotherapy, which tends to focus solely on cognitive and behavioral aspects. In conclusion, these models possess strong theoretical validity and hold significant potential for adaptation as practical guidelines in contemporary counseling settings, particularly within the religious context of Indonesian Muslim society.
