MODEL PSIKOTERAPI DI KALANGAN MUSLIM BANTEN

Abstract

In the field of mental health nowadays, rhe public find several alternatives to heal the psychiatric disorders. Some decades earlier however, efforts to heal their soul were perhaps more focused on models of healing typical of the region. Now public can find alternative healings that come from different regions and even countries. This phenomenon happens in Serang city, the capital of Banten province. Serang society have been encountered by various soul healing techniques (psychotherapy) based on culture, religion, and science. The healing techniques could be the continuation of the typical model developed by 1he older generation and it also could be an alien healing model that fit into society. Using descriptive-qualitative approach, the researc her argues that there are three models of psychotherapy among Muslims in Serang city, namely: ruqyah therapy, magic healing (hikmah), and rehabilitation model. In the three models of psychotherapy, I discovered similarities and differences in rhe process of rh e therapy. In ruqyah models, rhe opproach is based on the major religious texts., the Koran and the Hadith. The magic healing model is a combination of religious lexrs and loca l influence. The last is the rehabilitation model which is based on the medical­ psychological approach.
