Abstract

In the field of mental health nowadays, the 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 Ban/en 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 the older generation and it also could be an alien healing model that fit into society. Using descriptive-qualitative approach, the researcher 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 discove red similarities and differences in th e process of rhe therapy. In ruqyah models, the appro ach is based on th e major religious texts. the Koran and the Had ith. The magic healing model is a combination of religious texts and local influence. The last in the rehabilitation model, rhich fs based on the medical­ psychological approach.
