The majority of individuals who are affected do not exhibit any sensitivity to the disorder they are experiencing. Consequently, it is the responsibility of educators, including parents and instructors, to assist in the identification or raising awareness of the symptoms of mental disorders in their children. Furthermore, psychotherapy is one of the potential solutions to this issue. Psychotherapy is more than just a cure; it is also a means of preventing and constructing personality. The method of this study is a literature method through searching for various related references. The theoretical framework used by Abu Zayd Al-Balkhi’s psychotherapy theory. Some mental disorders that need to be watched out for are if the following symptoms appear a) emotions in the form of frequent and uncontrollable anger and sadness, b) obsessions of compulsions, and c) unwarranted and excessive panic. Therefore, psychotherapy in Islamic education is important because these symptoms can interfere with their lives. Psychotherapy in Islamic education can be applied in two ways, namely external and internal. External techniques include talking therapy with Qur’ani communication techniques. Internal techniques can be carried out in three stages, namely: a) takhalli, in the form of Muhasabah, dhikr, prayer, fasting; b) tahalli, in the form of Internalization of God’s best names (asmaul husna) and the nature of prophet (shifatunnabi), c) tajalli, character development of gratitude, patience, surrender to God, self-acceptance.
