In the field of social and psychological services delivery, counsellors are often confronted with clients whose lifestyles, being and functioning is informed by a particular culture or religious persuasion. Here mainstream theories of intervention may not be appropriate to facilitate maximum client participation in change processes. Different counselling approaches geared towards being client rather than counsellor or organisation specific becomes necessary and need to be developed. Counselling systems should therefore consider cultural paradigms and encourage the notion of diversity in its approaches. This thesis attempts to contribute to this position by examining the role of lslam in counselling and psychotherapy. It argues that Islam as a religious and cultural tradition can and should form part of cross-cultural counselling approaches. 2015-09-14T18:08:58Z 2015-09-14T18:08:58Z 1998 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13905 eng application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
