Summary/Abstract: As a sign of the attention Islam pays to, not only psychological but also spiritual health, the early Muslim scholars tackled the issue of submissiveness and aggressiveness. The results were the books, and sometimes even real psycho therapeutical manuals, in which, these great scholars theoretically developed, from the Islamic perspective, many of the concepts and techniques of the modern assertiveness training. In the light of the Islamic vision of human nature and using different behavioral and cognitive interventions, they paid special attention to healing the ailing human soul, which, according to them, was the main cause of an assertive pathology.
