In this setting, the focus of mental health therapy at the Pesantren Pesulukan Agung transcends mere patient healing; it emphasizes achieving self-understanding, fostering human awareness, and cultivating a willingness to accept the decrees of Allah, which are regarded as essential components of the therapeutic process.
