Avery explores the psychology of altered states among the early
Sufis. It examines sama - listening to ritual recitation, music and
certain other aural phenomena - and its effect in inducing unusual
states of consciousness and behaviours. The focus is on the
earliest personalities of the Islamic mystical tradition, as
mediated by texts from the tenth to the twelfth centuries C.E.
These unusual states are interpreted in the light of current
research in Western psychology, and also in terms of their
integration into historical Islamic culture. A Psychology of Early
Sufi Sama provides new insights into the work of five Sufi authors,
and a fresh approach to the relation between historical accounts of
altered states and current psychological thinking.
