The Final Session of the Psychology in Islamic Thought Seminars Was Held

On Thursday, July 4, the final session of the Psychology in Islamic Thought seminar series, jointly organized by Ibn Haldun University and the Association for Psychology and Psychotherapy Research, took place at Istanbul University’s Prof. Dr. Fuat Sezgin Congress and Culture Center. Our Association President Dr. Taha Burak Toprak presented his talk titled ‘General Evaluation and Closing’, providing an overview of the seminar series.

Throughout the seminars, the need to reconsider concepts from Islamic thought and modern psychology was emphasized. The potential and limitations of these fields for psychotherapy were discussed. The significance of challenging the existing paradigm and organizing these inquiries in a systematic way was highlighted.

In the last seminar, questions that had arisen in people’s minds regarding the entire process were addressed and answered.

“What kind of relationship can we establish with the current science of psychology and its knowledge?” 

“What are the responsibilities of the different relationship styles we establish?”, 

“What does Islamic Thought tell us, in many areas such as the foundations of psychology, developmental theory, cognitive science, social psychology in the context of the philosophy of science?”

 “In the Islamic tradition, can a psychotherapy model be formulated from the theoretical structures regarding human beings, and if so, how?” 

“Could new aspects be considered regarding social treatment models?”
