The Necessity of Establishing a Unitary Psychology in the Framework of the Islamic Approach

This paper explains Islamic psychology as truth-centered knowledge with the capacity to examine the rules governing mental organizations, underlying processes, and manifestations of human behavior. The method of this library-based research, which is of a fundamental theoretical type, is rational analysis. For this purpose, after examining the ideas of psychologists and researchers in the psychology of philosophy about the lack of coherence and the decline of contemporary psychology, the causes were analyzed and the establishment of Islamic psychology was introduced as a necessary solution. Findings of the research show that after the formation of three schools of psychology, there hasn’t been a comprehensive school for the introduction of human psychology. In spite of the inclusion of correct propositions, the new approaches usually explain the behavioral and cognitive strategies or the biological foundations of psychology. Many of these theories have not had an appropriate theoretical basis, and some theoreticians have not paid much attention to it. With its special theoretical foundations, Islamic psychology can present a comprehensive school to explain all aspects of human behavior and examine the rules governing mental organizations, underlying processes and manifestations of human behavior.
