Due to the focus in psychology on Euro-American centric ontologies and epistemologies, many non-European psychologists have been calling for the decolonization of the field. In joining this call, I propose an Islamic anti-patriarchal liberation psychology framework to guide psychological knowledge production and application within contexts in which some or most people identify as Muslim. Using Martín-Baró’s proposal of three essential tasks of liberation psychology as a guide, my framework explains how and why it is necessary to decolonize psychological knowledge production and application in such contexts. The first task requires the privileging of Muslim voices, with Muslims being conceptualized as diverse, racialized peoples. The second task involves challenging the internalization of colonial ways of thinking among Muslims. The final task asks researchers and practitioners to recover Islamic histories of scholarship, Muslims’ sense of community, and queer and feminine ways of being. Together, these tasks can provide an adaptable guide for psychological knowledge production and application for Muslims in a wide variety of contexts.

The article discusses the main directions of activities of the Association of Psychological Assistance to Muslims. The Association of Psychological Assistance to Muslims (APAM) was created in Russia on 29 September 2017, at the fi rst scientifi c-practical conference “Islam: psychological stability as the basis of personal and social well-being”, which took place in Moscow. The Association is an all-Russian organization that deals with solving problems of practical, empirical, theoretical and educational nature. Psychological counseling for Muslims is a professional psychological assistance, which relies on the knowledge about the peculiarities of the client’s faith signifi cant to his personality. These are religious beliefs, religious language, sacred stories and legends, ritual practices, traditions and customs of Muslim peoples.The author declares that there is no conflict of interest.

“…In the second stage, research efforts can transition into what has been described by Rasjid Skinner (; 2018) as the IP approach. This approach dispenses the lion's share of attention to early Islamic scholarly literature, especially from spiritual masters (Quasem ) such as Abū Hāmid al‐Ghazālī, Shāh Walī Allāh, al‐Muhāsibī, Mustafa Sabri, al‐Qushayrī, al‐Makkī, Ibn Taimīya, or Ibn Qayyim (cf.…”

The goal of this stage is to discern the (implicit) psychological interpretation of the Islamic primary sources ( Qur’ān and Sunna ) that has been produced by early Islamic scholarship and that was allegedly nourished by the “Islamic” environment in which these scholars lived (Skinner ; 2018, 3–5). One suggestion is to use their works for the “Preparation” phase where a theoretical framework, research questions and subquestions, and research methods and design are finalized (see Figure ).…”

“…The second group of issues within Islamically informed cognitive theory considers the use of Islamic scholarship to construct an Islamic cognitive paradigm. This domain of ICTs employs the IP approach (Skinner , 2018) and thus derives its content from early Muslim scholars’ works, especially texts by the mutakallimūn , Sufis, and physicians. Scholars that may be of immediate interest for the construction of an Islamic cognitive paradigm are Abū Yaʿqūb bin Isḥāq al‐Kindī and Abū Ḥāmid al‐Ghazālī.…”

The Islamic psychology (IP) community in Europe has recently witnessed a heated debate about the credentials required to participate in the theoretical substantiation of IP and Islamically integrated psychotherapy and counseling. This debate has provided convenient circumstances for Muslim psychologists and Islamic scholars alike to rethink their roles within the flourishing movement. Specifically, the discussions hint toward the importance of adopting a collaborative research methodology for IP, in particular for basic research. The methodology of choice will need to define the necessary qualifications and responsibilities of scholars and psychologists in a collaborative research process (personal collaboration) and evince its capability to appropriately marry knowledge and data, diverging research methods, and perspectives, concepts, and theories from Islamic studies and contemporary psychology (content-related collaboration). Here, we devise and offer a case illustration of an Islamic Psychology Basic Research Framework (coined the SALAAM Framework). This framework uses the Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (IIS) Model of Interdisciplinary Research, developed by the IIS at the University of Amsterdam. Our first aim is to appropriate the IIS model for the IP literature by applying the model's research process phases and technique for the integration of disparate bodies of knowledge-that is, the identification of common ground-to methodological approaches in the contemporary IP literature. Our second aim is to exemplify the devised SALAAM Framework using the relatively unexplored area of Islamic cognitive theories (ICTs), which remain underdeveloped in contemporary psychological literature, primarily because of a lack of commensurability with the nomenclature of contemporary psychology. We thus provide a primer on the potential scope of ICTs. Toward Paul Kaplick is a graduate student, Brain and Cognitive Sciences,
