Kehadiran lembaga-lembaga kemanusiaan Muslim tidak hanya menggairahkan aksi-aksi kemanusiaan di lapangan, tetapi juga memiliki peran penting dalam menumbuhkembangkan gagasan dan prinsip-prinsip kemanusiaan dalam Islam. Kendati demikian, di balik peran aktif lembaga kemanusiaan Muslim di ruang publik yang semakin meningkat, kajian mendalam tentang Islam dan masalah-masalah kemanusiaan, khususnya hukum humaniter, ternyata masih belum banyak dilakukan. "Untuk itulah buku ini dihadirkan. Para penulis di dalam buku ini mengajak kita membuka ruang dialog tentang apa sebetulnya yang disebut prinsip-prinsip kemanusiaan di kalangan Muslim; doktrin seperti apa yang membuat kerja-kerja kemanusiaan dalam lembaga-lembaga kemanusiaan Islam tumbuh subur; bagaimana kalangan Muslim memaknai hukum humaniter internasional; serta bagaimana semua itu diejawantahkan dalam aksi nyata, khususnya di Indonesia dan beberapa negara di Asia Tenggara.

As indicated by its title A History of Great Ideas in Abnormal Psychology, this book is not just concerned with the chronology of events or with biographical details of great psychiatrists and psychopathologists. It has as its main interest, a study of the ideas underlying theories about mental illness and mental health in the Western world. These are studied according to their historical development from ancient times to the twentieth century. The book discusses the history of ideas about the nature of mental illness, its causation, its treatment and also social attitudes towards mental illness. The conceptions of mental illness are discussed in the context of philosophical ideas about the human mind and the medical theories prevailing in different periods of history. Certain perennial controversies are presented such as those between the psychological and organic approaches to the treatment of mental illness, and those between the focus on disease entities (nosology) versus the focus on individual personalities. The beliefs of primitive societies are discussed, and the development of early scientific ideas about mental illness in Greek and Roman times. The study continues through the medieval age to the Renaissance. More emphasis is then placed on the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century, the enlightenment of the eighteenth, and the emergence of modern psychological and psychiatric ideas concerning psychopathology in the twentieth century.
