<p align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>This research empasizes on digging the consept of Syat{ah{a&lt;t of Sufis where several tasawuf companion showed their psychological condition up on paradoct position, switces themselves on God position. Then, trought researching on Syat{ah{a&lt;t of Sufis in psychological approach, researcher found several conclusions; i.e. (a) etimologically, Syat}ah}a&gt;t means shaking (al-h}arakah); (b) terminologigally, Syat{ah{a&lt;t of Sufis means any speeches that stranged to be heard by its audience when Sufis reached wajd or wuju&gt;d level. The factors that force the Sufis said Syat{ah{a&lt;t were: (1) the strong emotional feelings and rumbled spiritual extasy (wajd), (2) experiences self unification (ittih}a&gt;d), (3) Sufis are in extacy condition (sakr), (4) Sufis hear the signal of divinity within them who invites self-union, so they positioned himself as God, and (5) they loss of self-consciousness; Additionally, the researchers added the other factors, i.e. (1) the Sufis movement comes from tawa&gt;jud (salat, dhikr, meditation, contemplation, thought) on to the wajd or ecstasy level, (2) when Sufis heart is suddenly controlled by Allah Almighty (wa&gt;rid al-il&gt;ahiyyah), so he was no longer able to control their consciousness, and (3) absence of prejudice that the Sufis are united with God, because when that feeling comes, then they really had split (infisa&gt;l). In other hand, Syat{ah{a&lt;t of Sufis in psychological perspective, this study focused on transpersonal psychology, researchers tried to draw the conclusion that remarks Syat{ah{a&lt;t in grammatical word used is a combination of words which are not common to say by common, because the context is only for Allah. Those unusual utterances are manifestation of Sufis psychology themselves, when saying syat}ah}a&gt;t , Sufis do not realize whatever they have been said.</p>

Epistemic Violence

We agree with Held’s (2020) arguments for establishing a research practice that prevents numerous forms of othering in mainstream psychological research, which is essentially derived from omitting concepts embedded in the lived experience of the other. However, we believe those arguments are not yet sufficient for fulfilling the true potential of such research practice. In this discussion, we focus on accessing a lived experience of the other as a means of preventing epistemic violence that contributes to the oppression of othered people. We suggest that researchers broaden their psychological perspective that detaches concepts and theories from personal experience. To truly meet the other, the narrative approach offers promising potential, as it captures an individual’s lived experience and subjective perspective. Finally, we stress the pivotal role of social interaction in concept and folk theory formation, which is necessary to implement Held’s postulations for Indigenous psychology.

Different Parts

Scholarly interpretations of 4 Ezra have very often endeavoured to resolve the issue of the apparent disunity and inconsistency in its form and content. The approaches used are largely divided between the psychological perspective on the one hand, which understands the work as describing Ezra’s religious transformation as a result of his dialogue with Uriel and his visions, and the theological approach on the other, which views it as an intra-Jewish debate, with Uriel and Ezra representing conflicting theological views. While the theological perspective often neglects the significance of the visions and the epilogue for the work as a whole, the psychological perspective often fails to give due consideration to authorial intention. This article argues that the author of 4 Ezra intends to propose a solution to the crisis created by the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 ce and to give scriptural authority to his solution. The key to interpreting his purpose in writing lies in the choice of Ezra as his pseudonymous mouthpiece and in the epilogue. With this authorial intention in mind, the different parts of the book become a coherent whole.

Mystical Experiences

Mysticism presents, amidst others, a unique worldview to unfold the cosmic mysteries through experiential ways, often rendering mystical experiences somewhat subjective and elusive. This makes it highly pertinent to delve into the human psyche, which is the fountainhead of such experiences. Psychology offers theoretical tools, thereby enabling researchers to resolve riddles at one hand and enriching their understanding on the other. It is almost in the same vein that the current research is carried out, namely analyzing mystical experience from a psychological perspective. The paper contends that the culmination of a mystic's experience of the Divine is equated with his psychological wellbeing and emotional development. Drawing on Kazimierz Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration, the researchers study a literary text, The Forty Rules of Love, written by Elif Shafak. The findings of this research lead to a nullification of the confusion of mystical experiences with psychological disorders.

Social Representation Theory

People and societies are guided by what they imagine to lie beyond the present, by what can and should be the case in the future. Yet people do not always agree about the form, content or path to realisation of a given imagined future. As a result, conflicts can arise over something that does not exist yet. In this paper, I propose to integrate theories of social and alternative representations with a sociocultural psychological interpretation of imagination, in order to explore the addressivity of futures and to call for more studies that explicitly take into account the future’s role in the present. I draw on a dialogical case study that was carried out on the Faroe Islands, more precisely on the island of Suðuroy. Whereas the Faroe Islands are experiencing a rapid acceleration in growth, Suðuroy has failed to keep pace and has witnessed decades of emigration and a worsening of its population’s relative socio-economic situation. Islanders liken the current situation to standing at a crossroads, while being unable to agree on which path must be taken in order to reinvigorate a shrinking future. By analysing how one of the two major social representations constructs the other – its alternative representation – I suggest that the absence of transformative dialogue results from incompatible futures. Furthermore, in line with a sociocultural psychological perspective, I also attempt to move beyond the homogenising force inherent in social representation theory by introducing Ingolf and Karin, whose stories illustrate how social and alternative representations are not uniformly shared and enacted, but take different forms in light of unique life experiences.

Set Up

People with a diagnosis of dementia have often been the subjects of qualitative research; by contrast, this article sets out to reflect on the positioning of people living with dementia in inclusive or ‘co-produced’ research and the connections between the personal and the collective voice in research. The article seeks to explore the unique hallmarks of inclusive dementia research, compared with some of the other models of inclusive research. Drawing on our experiences in one study, we describe the stages at which the research was set up, how a group of people living with dementia got involved in doing research, and their role in a conversation analysis of video interaction. We then use short extracts from recorded data of our meetings to discuss some of the tensions and challenges in this type of inclusive research, including political identification, the unequal power balance in inclusive research and the unique contributions of people living with dementia. Our ensuing argument is for a type of guided spontaneity, where lived experience (and future lived experience) has a space to be valued and to offer insights for research. The implications of inclusive research are about the practical, and about impact. These messages are contained in a postscript written by the last three authors Roy James, Sandy Read and Harry Davis, who are the members of the dementia research group.

<em>This study aims to discuss LGBT phenomenon in Indonesia in Islamic law, human rights (HAM), and psychological prespectives. In general, this controversy can be classified into three perspectives, First, religious classification that represented by religious prominent figures and religious organizations particularly Islam, the second, both activists and human rights activists, and the third, psychologist profession. According to the psychological perspective, LGBT is a disease that has a possibility to be cured. According to Islamic law and human rights, LBGT groups must be protected in the form of health insurance by helping and treating them from the disease to be normal. But, the LGBT community activities that contradict with religious norms and interfere the other human rights, then according to the Islamic law and human rights perspectives, such activities should be banned, even they can be subjected to sanctions.</em>

Color Symbolism

The current study addresses color symbolism in the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca, a 20th century poet. He lived in the period between 1898 and 1936 in which Spain, and particularly Granada, had a significant impact on his poetry. It lived in his verses and added a unique charisma to his poetry, emerging from its ongoing transformation from tangible visualization to artistic glances. The mention of color appeared in every poem, with some colors being more dominant than others. It added an artistic value with a pure psychological perspective, almost like a painting portraying Granada. This led critic and Spanish civilization researcher Luis Parrot to call him “a poet enchanted by colors” in his study of Lorca’s poetry, as he found him totally possessed by colors (Telisy, 1992). This addresses color symbolism that is prominent in Lorca’s poetry. Has this symbolism reflected Lorca’s character that it appeared in an unorthodox manner? Or was this symbolism traditional in its form and meaning? The study concluded that Lorca did not describe color by color, color by name, or name by color. Rather, his poetry took many forms and tastes, giving it a certain uniqueness and individuality to Lorca. Analysing Lorca’s poetry reveals its richness in color expressions. It also shows how Lorca’s awareness of color exemplified his suffering explicitly and implicitly, to maintain a certain level in his poetry on one hand, and to avoid being overt on the other

This paper distinguishes between two conceptions of philosophical counseling. The one focuses on the clarification of the individual’s psychological and philosophical self and the other on the transcendence of that self. A comparison of the latter conception with the self-transcendence that rakes place through Zen Buddhism contributes to the examination of the question of whether philosophical counseling can indeed overcome potential psychological obstacles to attaining a transcendent aim. Possible influences of the integration of psychological intervention into the philosophical search for transcendence are also discussed.

The implementation of a rule and form of punishment to create a safe and prosperous society will have an effect and impact on the fabric of social life. The implementation of judicial caning stipulated in the Qanun Jinayah has gained diverse views from society. The purpose of this study was to determine how society's perceptions of the implementation of judicial caning. This study used a qualitative method with observation and focus group techniques. A total of 31 people from 3 (three) regions in Banda Aceh City were selected as research respondents using purposive sampling techniques. The results point out that the perceptions that arise from the society are influenced by knowledge and views on judicial caning and its implementation as well as the psychosocial conditions of the society. Society does not quite understand the nature of Jinayah law, the purpose of punishment, and the order as well as the law to be realized. On the other hand, society also considers that judicial caning can provide a deterrent effect and learning to the society so that it does not violate the Sharia law.
