Greater access mental health services for Muslim clients is an ongoing need. Researchers in Muslim mental health have suggested that advocacy requires identifying needs and taking action to make the circumstances more inclusive (Tanhan & Francisco, 2019; Tanhan & Strack, 2020). Within the context of mental health providers who are positioned to ...
Consistent with beliefs that Islamic religion is a main cause of mental health difficulties, most studies highlighted that religious healers or acts had a seminal role in management.

Our purpose in this manuscript was (a) to propose a concept map that included key factors that explain how Muslims populations approach mental health services utili-zation and (b) to ofer an empirically testable contextual theoretical framework that may help clarify Muslims decision making in relation to seeking out mental health services.
We read the identified research systematically and identified themes related to fac-tors that impact Muslim’s consumption of mental health services. We reviewed the articles to identify a mental health concept, conceptual or theoretical foundation, and/or mental health approach related to Muslim mental health. See Table 1 for a summary of the arti...
There are several reasons that TPB/TRA is important. First and foremost, it has been utilized in many diferent disciplines with a range of topics and provided significant results. Second is that it includes crucial constructs and a clear model, rather than so many constructs that it is empirically dificult to test. Third, the theory provides detail...
Cultural beliefs related to mental health consist of beliefs that emerge from either religious belief and/or culture related to the cause and treatment of mental issues (Tanhan, 2017). Traditional Islamic beliefs regarding the causes of mental illness are supernatural, and they may originate from theological bases and have the capac-ity to cause sy...

In the current study, as the authors, we (a) reviewed 300 peer-reviewed manuscripts on Muslim mental health to understand how researchers have used concept maps or theoretical frameworks to design their empirical research, (b) prepared a comprehensive concept map based on the literature review to determine the central concepts affecting Muslims' approach to the use of mental health services ...
While there may be fairly consensual ideas of well-being and ideal functioning, Western psychology does not necessarily have one universal set of moral guidelines (however that is understood) to hold people accountable to or encourage alignment with, whereas an Islamic psychology necessarily involves the moral framework and guidance set out by the Qur’an and Sunnah as the benchmark for human ...
