Abu Zayd al-Balkhi's Sustenance of the Soul by Malik Badri

Abu Zayd al-Balkhi's Sustenance of the Soul by Malik Badri

A thousand years before cognitive behavioural therapy was named, a physician in Balkh wrote a treatise on treating anxiety, obsession and sadness by changing the thoughts that produce them.

Malik Badri translates and annotates al-Balkhi's work, showing his distinction between bodily and psychological illness, his techniques of reciprocal inhibition and cognitive restructuring, and his insistence on preventive mental health.

A remarkable historical document, and important for the study of Islamic contributions to psychology.
