Counseling Muslims in a Western context
Counseling Muslims blends lecture, case vignettes, and de-briefings for a comprehensive overview of counseling people of Muslim faith. In a dynamic lecture coupled with PowerPoint slides, Dr. Farah Ibrahim presents demographics, tenets of the faith, and strategies to incorporate Islamic spiritual beliefs in the counseling process to make it culturally appropriate to Muslims. Following the lecture are counseling vignettes that include counseling a new immigrant, a family counseling session with an intergenerational crisis with an adolescent; a couple struggling with their contrasting interpretations of a man and woman's role in a marriage; and an individual counseling session featuring a Muslim woman experiencing trauma post 9/11.
