Introduction: This research investigates the quality of control, particularly parental control, and its impact on family mental health. It seeks to address questions regarding the main root of mental disorders in Glasser’s view, the quality and extent of control behaviors, and criticisms of Glasser’s perspective from an Islamic approach.
Method: The study employs a narrative review method, analyzing Glasser’s concepts of internal and external control and examining Quranic and narrative concepts in this context.
Findings: Glasser advocates for eliminating controlling behaviors such as criticism, complaining, blaming, nagging, threatening, punishing, and blackmailing, and instead promoting negotiation, listening, friendship, respect, and intimacy for better relationships. However, Islamic teachings do not consider these alternative behaviors sufficient and allow for the use of some controlling behaviors in a specific and minimal manner.
Conclusion: Glasser’s analysis and explanation of mental health and satisfaction resulting from healthy interpersonal relationships without controlling behaviors contrast with Islamic teachings, which suggest that control behaviors can sometimes be necessary to maintain a relationship.
