| Summary: | Background and Objectives: Conduct disorder (CD) is a psychiatric disorder in adolescents that, if left untreated, can lead to antisocial personality or antisocial behaviors. This study aimed to design and validate a spiritual therapy (SP) package based on Islamic culture and classical psychological achievements. Methods: A content analysis methodology was employed. The challenges faced by these adolescents were articulated using the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria in conjunction with contemporary empirical research outcomes. The SP elements were formulated according to the God-attachment theory proposed by Kirkpatrick. We endeavored to correlate each identified problem or challenge with a corresponding element of the SP framework. A panel of experts, consisting of 14 faculty members, evaluated the alignment between the recognized challenges and suggested intervention components. Relevant verses and narratives from the Quran and hadiths on the elements of SP were extracted through an exhaustive literature review. The expert panel appraised each item's content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI). A comprehensive educational package comprising 13 sessions was devised, and its efficacy was independently assessed. Results: The educational package's CVR was calculated to be 0.99. Each educational session's CVI was >0.78. Conclusion: Based on these results, the SP educational package based on Islamic culture is suitable for incorporation into counseling. Institutions and mental health providers could integrate SP into their therapeuthic/educational plans.
