| Summary: | Internet addiction is increasingly recognized as a significant mental health
concern, and is now included in DSM-5 TR as internet gaming disorder.
Cybersexual addiction, a subtype of internet addiction, presents unique
treatment challenges due to the pervasive need for online activities. This paper
examines the incorporation of Islamic principles in the treatment of internet
addiction among Muslim patients. The aim is to explore culturally sensitive
approaches that align with Islamic practices to effectively address internet
addiction. To highlight the specific challenges and benefits of integrating
Islamic principles in managing internet addiction, a review of various
databases was conducted. Key search terms included "internet addiction,"
"Islamic principles," "religious therapy," and "psychospiritual treatment." A
detailed case vignette was included to demonstrate the practical application of
integrating Islamic principles in treatment, highlighting the psychospiritual
aspects and their impact on patients' emotional well-being. This paper
discusses the principles of treatment, patient suitability, therapist preparedness,
and potential limitations. Integrating religious principles as part of a
psychospiritual approach shows promise in behaviour therapy for Muslim
individuals suffering from internet addiction. |
