Using Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy for the Treatment of Sexual Issues in a Muslim Male: A Pakistani Case Study

Abstract

The client, an unmarried male of 30 years of age, presented with the complaints of wanting to abstain from performing non-marital sex and feeling guilt about excessive masturbation. Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (IIP) and Religious CBT (R-CBT) were administered, keeping in view the client’s fair to high religious inclination. Both modalities were found to be highly efficacious. The findings of this case study will extend the literature and add strength to what is already known, as prior research has not addressed the step-by-step application of IIP and RCBT for helping a client deal with sexual issues.
