The book begins by covering the general and clinical challenges that
are unique to Muslims, drawing from an internationally, ethnically, and
intergenerationally diverse pool of experts. The text covers not only
how psychiatrists and other clinicians can intervene successfully with
patients, but how we as clinicians can have a role in addressing other
societally connected mental health challenges arising from Islamophobia.
The text addresses three related but distinct areas of interest:
Islamophobia as a destructive force, Islam as a religion that is
threatened by stigma and misinformation, and the novel intersection of
these forces with the field of psychiatry.
Islamophobia and Psychiatry
is a vital resource for all clinicians and clinicians in training who
may encounter patients struggling with these issues, including adult and
child psychiatrists, psychologists, primary care physicians,
counselors, social workers, and others.
