Synopsis

Seven contemporary Sufi women are interviewed and their responses are compared to traditional psychology. This book has received rave reviews by main stream America because it shows how Western women come to submission to God's Will (islam) and then sought the further dimension of commitment to inner change as part of the Sufi way of purification of the soul (tazkiyah-i nafs).

About the Author:

Laleh Bakhtiar, Ph.D., a well-known author on Sufism, is the first person to unearth traditional psychology which had been buried in medieval philosophy. With this work she shows that traditional psychology is alive and vibrant and should be an alternative psychology to modern schools as the stress is upon morality and ethics.
