At the IPC-MHR Keynote Speaker Session, Dr. Bagus Riyono MA, Psikolog, the President of International Association of Muslim Psychologist delivered his speech about his TAZKIA therapy method. The participants were all excited to learn new insights from Dr. Bagus Riyono, and are welcomed to share their insight or ask question in this forum. There were some questions and comments from the participants to Dr. Bagus Riyono:
Q1) Sayema Zulfeqar --> Question: As an Islamic psychology practitioner, one of the challenges I commonly encounter is adapting the principles of Islamic psychology when working with people of other faith. Do you have any advice to share? Thank you! (Sayema Zulfeqar, Research Associate, Stanford University, USA).
Q2) Lee Gin Li --> Question: Can you provide further insight on how the principles of Islamic psychology intersect with modern understandings of human behavior, specifically in addressing issues related to homosexuality, while maintaining alignment with psychological frameworks?
Q3) Ahmad Faizal Adha --> is there a symbiosis mutualism between PSY and LAW? cuurrently so many case of bulliying today? what shoulld we do to reduce it with islamic PSY approach? Tks
Q4) Fatma Alshuhoomi --> Question: how to measure conscience?
Q5) Wan Adibah Nadiah Abd Razak --> Question: With regards to integrating Islam with psychology, how do you identify the boundary between religious belief and contemporary scientific understanding? For instance, if someone shows symptoms of psychosis, if one were to look at it religiously, how do they decide if it's psychosis and not possession/trance by an evil spirit?
By utilizing this framework (worldview + philosophy + methodology), can we explore how Islamic teachings on homosexuality guide individuals towards discovering their life's purpose by following their hearts and fulfilling their motivations?
Can this approach help individuals reach their full potential in a way that is in accordance with psychological principles and does not contradict psychological laws?
Q6) Sita Rositawati --> DR Bagus, is there any course to learn Tazkia Therapy ?
Q7) Klent Francis Capio --> Dr. Bagus, where does Islamic psychology stand regarding the biological antecedents of various psychological problems? Do you only advocate Islamic psychology in therapeutic interventions such as counseling or is it also applicable to the biological aspects of psychology? How does islamic psychology deal with psychosomatic disorders?
Q8) Catalino L. Emperio III --> Good day, Dr. Bagus. I'd like to ask how significant is motivation in understanding Intrinsically good actions and extrinsically bad actions. How relevant it is in scenarios where Intrinsically good actions become and are perceived as extrinsically bad? Your response to these queries would be much appreciated.
Q9) Delfin Chiniona --> Thank you Dr. Bagus for sharing us your valuable insight on mental health and resilience from Islamic perspectives. My question is how do Tazkia Therapy be appropriated to help those stressed people recovered from COVID-19 pandemic trauma?
Q10) Lee Gin Li --> Thank you so much for your insightful explanation, Dr. Bagus. It has provided a comprehensive understanding of the intersection between Islamic psychology and contemporary perspectives on human sexuality, particularly regarding homosexuality, while also emphasizing the importance of ethical and legal considerations in psychological practice.
