    Rethinking psycho-ontology in the context of Ilm an-Nafs (the study of self by Muslim scholars) and clinical applications
    (American Psychological Association, 2024) Toprak, Taha Burak; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
    While modern psychotherapies are generally effective, they often face challenges, especially in addressing the more profound aspects of human experience. Ilm an-Nafs, as a discipline rooted in the Islamic intellectual tradition, encompasses various interpretations that offer a multidimensional perspective by integrating scientific, philosophical, and theological insights. This article focuses on my specific interpretation of Ilm an-Nafs, from which we have developed the 3K model (drive/power model), the 3N model (consciousness model), the 4T model (cognitive model), and the Nafs (self) model. In order to explore their potential advantages, these models will be compared with psychoanalytic concepts and cognitive behavioral therapy. The methodology includes a comparative analysis of these models, highlighting how the Ilm an-Nafs models provide a more holistic understanding of human psychology. Findings from six previous studies, comprising four single-case studies, one case series, and one randomized controlled trial group study, showed significant symptom reduction among patients. These patients found the Ilm an-Nafs models to be more explanatory and holistic than modern psychotherapies. They reported that these models helped them distinguish between psychopathology and spirituality and offered a sense of security by integrating religious and scientific perspectives. The Ilm an-Nafs models offer a richer psycho-ontological framework that not only aligns more closely with the values and beliefs of Muslim patients but also provides inspiring insights that can expand the definition of the human being in modern psychology. This approach opens new avenues for religiously sensitive therapeutic interventions and suggests promising new directions for integrating Ilm an-Nafs with contemporary psychology. Future research may further explore this integration, potentially leading to more holistic therapies that better serve diverse populations.

    Case report: Recovery from sexual assault: A religion-adapted cognitive behavioral therapy for a woman sexual assault survivor
    (Elsevier Masson s.r.l., 2024) Işık, Hatice Rumeysa; Toprak, Taha Burak; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
    Long-term prevalence estimates for PTSD among female victims of sexual assault vary from 54.8 % (Oosterbaan et al., 2019) to 70 % (Bownes et al., 1991) and 87 % (Mgoqi-Mbalo et al., 2017), according to studies. Even sexual assault-related PTSD is significantly more prevalent than PTSD unrelated to sexual assault (Oosterbaan et al., 2019). Furthermore, Temple et al. (2007) found that rape, particularly by a current partner, is a significant risk factor for PTSD, stress, and dissociation. A significantly higher prevalence of PTSD as well as sexual problems and eating and mood disorders has been observed in raped women (Faravelli et al., 2004; Mgoqi-Mbalo et al., 2017; O'Loughlin & Brotto, 2020; Steketee & Foa, 1987). These findings underline the need to provide treatment for victims (Chivers-Wilson, 2006; Cowan et al., 2020). Existing research indicates that there is a need for a greater number of studies examining psychosocial interventions for victims of sexual assault; however, the prevailing body of evidence supports the effectiveness of interventions utilizing video and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques (Lomax & Meyrick, 2022). However, trauma-related disorders may vary by culture, as may their therapies (Schnyder et al., 2016)…

    Psychotherapies for the treatment of scrupulosity: A systematic review
    (Springer, 2024) Toprak, Taha Burak; Özçelik, Hanne Nur; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
    “Scrupulosity” is a common but understudied subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) characterized by religious obsessions and compulsions. Although scrupulosity is a common manifestation of OCD, it has not been adequately addressed in treatment studies. The aim of this study was to understand the conceptual nuances of scrupulosity, its diagnosis, the unique differences in conceptualization and interventions during its treatment, the specific tools needed to monitor the prognosis of the pathology, and the limitations of existing studies through a systematic review. Following PRISMA guidelines, a literature search was conducted, and 13 relevant studies were found in Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, EbscoHost+Ulakbim, Wiley Online Library, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis Online, and Web of Science databases. Two researchers independently rated the included articles using the MMAT and then met to compare the ratings. Disagreements were resolved through discussion and consensus was reached. There was a general lack of clarity in the conceptualization, diagnosis, and measurement of the severity of scrupulosity, and the content of religious or cultural interventions in the studies was not always clear. For future studies, further clarification, and systematization of the phenomenological features of scrupulosity and related epidemiological and empirical/experimental treatment research are needed.
