Merumuskan Pemulihan Psikologis Pasca Kegagalan Asmara dalam Perspektif Teori Adaptasi Psikologis dan Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah

Abstract

Romantic relationship failures are traumatic experiences that can significantly impact an individual's psychological well-being. This study aims to examine psychological recovery strategies following romantic relationship failures using the theoretical frameworks of George Engel's Psychological Adaptation Theory and Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah. The research employs a qualitative methodology based on a literature review, analyzing various sources related to emotional and spiritual recovery processes. The findings indicate that psychological recovery involves stages of acceptance, self-reflection, social support, the development of new activities, and enhanced spiritual awareness. Within Engel's theoretical framework, this process reflects the interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors that support individual adaptation to emotional trauma. Acceptance and self-reflection assist in managing emotions and understanding experiences, while social support and new activities strengthen coping mechanisms. The perspective of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah broadens this understanding by emphasizing the importance of maintaining the balance of the five essential elements of life: religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. Spiritual activities, such as worship and religious reflection, support the preservation of the soul (hifz an-nafs) and strengthen spiritual connections (hifz ad-din), while social support and productivity reflect efforts to uphold social harmony and economic stability. This study concludes that psychological recovery following romantic relationship failures is a multidimensional process that integrates emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. The integration of Engel's theory and Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah provides a holistic framework to help individuals overcome emotional trauma, build a stronger foundation, and foster personal growth and sustainable well-being in harmony with Islamic values.
