In June 2024, Ibrahim Ismail delivered a guest lecture on “Islam, Psychology and Ethical Dilemmas in Clinical Practice” for first-year students of the Master of Science in Psychology (Clinical) programme.

The session, attended by 15 students, explored the intersection between Islamic perspectives, psychology, and ethical decision-making in clinical practice. The lecture provided students with an opportunity to consider how cultural and religious perspectives can inform psychological practice while navigating ethical dilemmas that may arise in clinical settings.

Through discussion and knowledge sharing, the session encouraged critical reflection on the importance of culturally responsive and ethically informed approaches to psychological practice. It also provided postgraduate students with an opportunity to engage with perspectives that can contribute to their developing professional knowledge and clinical understanding.

The guest lecture supported continued professional learning and contributed to the development of students’ capacity to consider cultural context and ethical principles when working with clients.

The initiative aligns with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by supporting the development of informed and culturally responsive approaches to psychological practice, and SDG 4 (Quality Education) through postgraduate teaching and knowledge exchange.
