Abstract

This study examines the behavioural modification model of Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm ibn ‛Alī al-Shīrāzī. The model is explained in his book titled: “Al-Ṭib Al-Rrūḥānī” (The Spiritual Medicine). The proposed framework is developed by adopting treatment methodologies in organic medicine to behaviour modification. Thus, the model was developed to have four phases: identification of the disease, symptom, cause, and treatment. The researchers targeted two objectives; first, to investigate the theoretical basis of al-Shīrāzī’s model, and secondly, to find ways to enrich the scientific domain by introducing al-Shīrāzī’s contributions to the field of psychology and behavioural modification. In summary, this review study adopted the Inductive Content Analysis, which is based on the description and interpretation of textual data and the interpretation process aimed at developing knowledge and understanding of the phenomenon under study. Some notable behavioural theories were selected based on their change and modification paradigms, which were compared with those of al-Shirazi. This is intended to extrapolate the intellectual legacy of Abū Isḥāq al-Shīrāzī, may God Almighty have mercy on him.

Abū Isḥāq al-Shīrāzī’nin Davranış Değiştirme Modeli: “Al-Ṭib Al-Rūḥānī” Üzerine İndüktif Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Abū Isḥāq İbrāhīm ibn ‛Alī al-Shīrāzī’nin davranış değiştirme modelini kapsamlı bir şekilde incelemektedir. Söz konusu model, “Al-Ṭib Al-Rrūḥānī” (Ruhsal İlaç) adlı eserinde detaylandırılmaktadır. Önerilen çerçeve, organik tıptaki tedavi yöntemlerinin davranış değiştirme süreçlerine entegre edilmesi yoluyla geliştirilmiştir. Bu bağlamda model, dört aşamadan oluşacak şekilde yapılandırılmıştır: hastalığın tanımlanması, semptomlar, nedenler ve tedavi. Araştırmanın iki temel amacı bulunmaktadır; birincisi, al-Shīrāzī’nin modelinin teorik temellerini derinlemesine incelemek, ikincisi ise al Shīrāzī’nin psikoloji ve davranış değiştirme alanındaki katkılarını bilimsel literatüre entegre etme yollarını belirlemektir. Bu inceleme çalışması, metinsel verilerin tanımlanması ve yorumlanmasına dayanan İndüktif İçerik Analizi yöntemini benimsemiştir. Ayrıca, önemli davranış teorileri, değişim ve modifikasyon paradigması çerçevesinde seçilmiş ve al Shīrāzī’nin yaklaşımlarıyla karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu çalışma, Abū Isḥāq al-Shīrāzī’nin entelektüel mirasını gün yüzüne çıkarmayı hedeflemektedir. Allah rahmet eylesin.
