Bosnian: Forensic Psychiatry in Islamic Jurisprudence ‎

Book excerpt: This is the first book in Forensic Psychiatry that focuses on the application of psychiatry to legal ‎issues connected with Islamic jurisprudence. Holding a unique position amongst the world’s ‎religions in its containment of every aspect of human existence, it is openly natural for Islam to ‎govern both the spiritual and legislative aspects of life. It is therefore not surprising that one of the ‎most important conclusions drawn by the study is that ability of Islamic jurisprudence to cover ‎almost every issue raised in the field of forensic psychiatry. The range of interpretations ‎encompassing these issues is so wide that a match for many aspects of different secular laws can be ‎found in at least one of the four schools of thought. This gives contemporary psychiatry in any ‎Islamic country a broad spectrum of tools to work with, enabling the utilization of options specific ‎to particular societal and cultural norms. This book will appeal to both the general as well as the ‎academic reader drawing important and wide-ranging conclusions relevant for many individuals ‎and societies in the Islamic world.
