Abstract
Background and Objective: In relation to psychological treatment based on Acceptance and Commitment, several internal and external studies have been done and its effectiveness has been confirmed but today, with the clarification of the role of patients' religion in the treatment of their mental disorders, we are witnessing an increase in religious-psychological studies worldwide that examine the role of people's religion in their treatment; Therefore, the purpose of this study is to design a model based on Islamic concepts for use in treatment of Muslims based on religious beliefs.
Methods: In order to develop the theoretical model of Acceptance and Commitment based on Islamic concepts, the Grounded Theory (Textual) was used as a qualitative method to explore the theoretical foundations of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach in the Quran, Tafsir al-Mizan and al-Kafi. By exchanging ideas with psychologists and Islamic scholars, the concepts found in Islamic texts that were semantically and conceptually related to the theoretical concepts of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach, were selected and defined. Then, the concepts obtained were coded in two open coding and axial coding stages, and in the third step, by performing selective coding, the main categories were extracted and the relationship between them was specified. The authors reported no conflict of interests.
Results: In the present study, the theoretical model of Acceptance and Commitment was developed based on Islamic concepts; this model consists of two parts: mental health processes that represent a pure heart and mental disorder processes that represent a sick heart.
Conclusion: Using the Islamic model presented in this study, therapists can obtain more effective results in the treatment of mental disorders among Muslim patients in Islamic countries.
