description | Religion is a pervasive and influential phenomenon in the lives of m y
people. Instances of religious behavior are easily found in almost all
societies and cultures of the world. However, psychology, as a behavioral
science has largely ignored the study of religion and its profound
impact on human behavior. This article attempts to explore the relationship
between psychology and religion and how these two disciplines
interact. After a general overview of the relationship between the
two disciplines, Islamization of psychology is suggested as a way out
of the current impasse between psychology and religion. |
