Systematic Literature Review of the Impact of Islamic Psychotherapy on Adolescent Spiritual Well-Being.

Abstract

Islamic psychotherapy has been widely utilized in various fields, particularly in psychology, focusing on aspects of aqidah, worship, and morality, which can significantly contribute to individuals' spiritual well-being. Despite the abundance of studies on Islamic psychotherapy, systematic literature reviews on this topic remain scarce. This article aims to review the literature on the impact of Islamic psychotherapy on adolescent spiritual well-being. A qualitative research methodology was employed, involving the collection of documentary data from past studies and the inductive analysis of findings. This systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Articles and related resources were identified through three primary databases: Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The thematic analysis revealed three main themes: mental health, therapeutic approaches and interventions, and well-being. The findings indicate that mental health significantly influences both psychological and physical health issues, necessitating appropriate therapeutic interventions to enhance adolescents' spiritual well-being. This review emphasizes the importance of Islamic psychotherapy in addressing mental health challenges among Muslim  adolescents. Future researchers are encouraged to conduct more comprehensive SLRs with broader scopes, including more significant research questions and diverse databases.
