Course Description

Level 1

This is a 5-day intensive on Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP) Level 1. The training will provide students of psychology and mental health with an orientation to the foundational tenets &  principles of the model including a discussion of Islamic epistemology, i.e., a framework for reconciling disparate sources of knowledge (i.e. empirical, rational, and scriptural) within an Islamic context.  The core principles of the model will be presented that include a review of holistic schemas of health and pathology, nature of the human being, composition of the human psyche, principles of change, and role of the TIIP practitioner. 

Students will engage with practical applications of this model through two types of techniques:

  • Inherently Islamic approaches of psychotherapy. Inspired by the Qur’an, Prophetic Tradition, and the traditions of the scholars of the spiritual sciences (taziyah al-nafs). 

  • Adaptation and integration of mainstream interventions.  Methods drawn from contemporary orientations that are consistent with the foundational principles of TIIP. 

The course will also teach students to conceptualize and treat psychological dysfunction using this Islamic model.  

Interventions are designed to specifically target the elements of the TIIP ontological framework of the human psyche: 

  • ʿAql - cognition

  • Nafs - behavioral inclinations

  • Rūh - spirit 

  • Ihsās - emotions.

Location

The Historic Suleymaniye Madrasahs

Istanbul, Turkey

The Suleymaniye Complex is one of the oldest and more historic institutions in the world. Established in the 16th century as a socio-religious center, the Suleymnaiye has been a home for medical research, practice, and education. The complex consists of a medical school, a hospital, and a number of madrasas (school classrooms) through which knowledge was disseminated. 

We are extremely honored to be hosting our training in the 2 madrasa sections of the complex: The Salis Madrasa & the Darul Kurra Madrasa.

Dr. Senturk, former founding president of Ibn Haldun University, and current president of Usul Academy explains the historic significance of our training location.
