Situated within an international context of Islamophobia, this study examined acculturative stress, religious coping, and their interaction as predictors of subjective wellbeing in 167 New Zealand Muslims. A Muslim Religious Coping (MRC) scale was adapted for the purposes of this study, measuring religious coping across three domains of Cognitive, Behavioral, and Social MRC. Consistent with hypotheses: 1) acculturative stress predicted a lower level of Life Satisfaction and more psychological symptoms, and 2) Behavioral, Cognitive and Social MRC predicted greater Life Satisfaction. In addition, an interaction effect between Acculturative Stress and Behavioral MRC was found indicating that engaging in religious practices buffered the detrimental effects of acculturative stress on life satisfaction. Contrary to the hypotheses, however, MRC did not demonstrate a main or interaction effect on psychological symptoms. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to positive and negative indicators of wellbeing, the importance of religious maintenance as a resource for acculturating Muslims living in a Western country, and the implications for counselors working with Mus-

Muslims in Australia are from a range of cultural and language groups. In spite of their long presence in Australia, research on this population is a recent development. The information that is emerging indicates that in general, acculturation process is not problematic for the majority of Muslims. Most of them integrate well and report a blended identity. They value Australian institutions and contribute to the society in all spheres of life. However, acculturative stress has also emerged in the form of language barriers, employment challenges, financial disadvantages and marginalization. These challenges have been associated with wide spread negativity toward Muslims as a result of the national and international terrorist attacks. Further, an adverse portrayal of Muslims by the media has contributed to the development of prejudices and Islamophobia among general Australians; leading to discrimination and strained relations between the two groups. Although, there is an ongoing attempt to repair the relations between Muslims and the larger society in Australia, more effective strategies are required. Suggestions for stake holders are discussed.

Muslims from all over the World have settled in Western countries. They bring with themselves a rich cultural heritage and numerous skills. However, adjusting to a culture, different from their original culture, can be a challenge. They have to undergo an acculturation process to get adjusted to a new country and a new way of life. Although acculturation has been considered an important phase in the resettlement process, it has not been studied extensively with the Muslim population in the West. The present commentary examines briefly the studies conducted in the last decade. Findings are discussed and the gaps are highlighted. Future directions that researchers and academics could take are discussed.

Clergy occupy an important position when it comes to addressing the mental health of their congregants, according to research spanning several decades in communities across the United States (Weaver, 1998). At this time, limited research supports that this statement also applies to imams and Muslims. What still needs to be done in order for us to draw solid conclusions about how imams impact the mental health of Muslims in their communities? This report summarizes major trends and findings from the literature on clergy and imams and suggests a framework for future studies to address mosquebased mental health counseling needs of Muslims.

Researchers from around the world have conducted numerous studies in the last few decades exploring the unique cultural and religious nuances of the application of clinical psychology to Muslim clients as a response to the traditional Eurocentric narratives of psychology. This paper is a review of the last 10 years of research within this domain. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify research topical trends in the literature related to the subject. The following five themes emerged: 1) Unification of western psychological models with Islamic beliefs and practices; 2) Research on historical accounts of Islamic Psychology and its rebirth 76 Amber Haque, Fahad Khan, Hooman Keshavarzi, and Abdallah Rothman in the modern era; 3) Development of theoretical models and frameworks within Islamic Psychology; 4) Development of interventions and techniques within Islamic psychology; and 5) Development of assessment tools and scales normed for use with Muslims. Recommendations are also provided to help direct future research efforts to expand underdeveloped areas in this field.

Alcohol and drug abuse is a serious global public health and medical problem affecting every demographic group. It is also highly stigmatizing, especially among Muslim populations, which limits selfreport and research. This brief review will broadly summarize global alcohol and drug abuse research on the magnitude of the problem. It will then examine recent research published in English on alcohol and drug use and abuse among Muslim populations. The studies included are those limited to research on prevalence, risk factors, treatment, and prevention. Finally, the paper will conclude with recommendations for future research on alcohol and drug use and abuse among Muslim populations.
