| Summary |
Synthesizing over 20 years of research in forgiveness, the authors explain the process of forgiveness in psychotherapy in a way that can be applied by clinicians regardless of their theoretical orientation. The clear, detailed descriptions of the national and international empirical studies of forgiveness and of validated forgiveness measures are excellent resources for those wishing to pursue research in this area. How to recognize when forgiveness is an appropriate client goal; how to introduce and explain to clients what forgiveness is and is not; and concrete, stepwise ways of working forgiveness into therapy with individuals, couples, and families are among the many topics covered in this comprehensive volume. The roles that anger and forgiveness play in specific emotional disorders and clinical examples of work with individuals suffering from these disorders make this a practical resource and highly documented sourcebook for all mental health practitioners.
