Family Therapy with Muslims Manijeh Daneshpour 2015 edition

There are approximately 1.5 billion Muslims in the world.  Millions of Muslims live in North America and Europe; more than 8 million in the U. S. and about one million in Canada. In addition, Muslims in North America have the third-highest divorce rate at 33 percent. Yet, there is a scarcity of written and researched material by Muslim scholars and scientists on the family, as viewed from historical, socio-cultural, psychological, behavioral and political perspectives. Family Therapy with Muslims is a much needed reference that presents many family therapy models in the context of working specifically with the Muslim population. This book offers practical clinical solutions to working with this cultural and religious minority.
