Years prior to this picture (IAIP Conf '18) I had come across Abu Zayd al-Balkhi's original manuscript and written to Dr. Malik Badri about my findings comparing Balkhi's 9th C work to DSM-5
He wrote back encouraging me to publish in mainstream medical peer reviewed journals 1/

With Dr.Malik Badri in the front row, I presented how Balkhi (9th C) may have been the first in history to correctly classify, diagnose and propose functional treatments for #OCD and #phobia an entire MILLENNIUM before the European psychologists credited with both discoveries 2/
Dr. Malik Badri was so proud that day 💔
He gave me a standing ovation when I shared how the historians of medicine who peer reviewed my papers said they re-write the history of psychology and Muslim contributions to the field

So thankful for Dr. Malik Badri's mentorship even from afar. So incredibly sad I won't have the opportunity to teach a class about this topic alongside him as was planned
But I have every intention to carry forward his legacy, inshaAllah. Rahmatullahi 'alayh
