Psikologi Humanis; Mengurai Relasi Teoritik antara Psikologi dan Agama

Psychological discourse can be traced through the thoughts of Muslim philosophers such as Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, and Al-Ghazali about the concept of the nafs. Its abstract but real structure forms the human psyche, received a warm welcome from Western thinkers such as Wilhelm Wundt and Ivan Pavlov so that psychology was born. Islamic teachings about psychology and psychology are not two different things but mutually support each other and complement each other, because in the development of psychology there are ups and downs in the relationship between psychology and religion. Through a multidisciplinary study of Islamic religious education, this article describes the terminology of Islamic psychology; human psychological elements; and the human driving force. At the end of this article, the author tries to find an estuary between western psychology and Islamic teachings on psychology which leads to humanist psychology. Humanist psychology is the latest period of the ebb and flow of the relationship between psychology and religion. Humanist psychology is able to become the new mainstream in understanding humans not only related to their psychology but also the driving motivation and side of human spirituality that experimental psychology cannot reach.

Socio- Psycho- Religious Responses to Covid-19 in Bangladesh

The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic once again challenged the advancement of modern biological sciences. Man found himself utterly blinded by the nano-Lilliputian corona virus known as Covid-19. Against the background of daily death tolls all over the globe, scientists and researchers spent strenuous days and months to invent Covid-19 vaccines; governments adjusted and readjusted their combat policies, and WHO continued presiding over the conundrum with periodical situation studies and issuing warnings and updates. But a man is, after all, a man—a living symbiosis of social, psychological, moral, and a host of other values beyond the grasp of laboratories and offices. So one might be curious to know, how Bangladesh, in a far-flung corner of the globe, responded to Covid-19 in the early days of the onslaught, then in a one year span, and what the encounter might look like from the perspectives of sociology, psychology, and religion, besides economy. This paper, more theoretical and perceptual than scientific, will examine how the Covid-19 proliferation in Bangladesh affected the socio-psycho- religious equilibrium of her people like the people of the rest of the world. It will further explore how Bangladesh, till this date, managed to bridle the rate of infection and death through strategic policies, and cruised a moderate path to curb down the nascent mass panic and defiant religious dogmatism, followed by a timely vaccination program.

Benefits and Barriers to Professor Transparency

Relationality and attachment to professors play a vital role for those interested in interweaving the relational work of psychology with aspects of faith, meaning, and identity, such as is done in the integration of psychology and religion. The present study investigated student and faculty perceptions of affective presence and transparency at explicitly Christian American Psychological Association (APA)-accredited doctoral programs. A total of 229 students and 51 faculty completed a questionnaire consisting of qualitative questions regarding barriers to transparency, formative experiences, and growth areas. Grounded-theory analysis revealed faculty are thoughtfully considering how to engage in transparency, while also considering boundary issues, power dynamics, and personal fears. Students valued professor transparency and attachment to the professor through mentorship. Implications are discussed surrounding reflective use of transparency, intersectionality, and the importance of cultivating co-regulating classroom environments.
