Forgiveness Therapy

Paper Summary:

This paper presents a review of the scholarly and peer-reviewed literature concerning forgiveness and how forgiveness therapy may be affected by a counselor's religiosity. More specifically, the paper attempts to determine precisely how a counselor's own religiosity measures the degree to which he has forgiven an individual that has hurt or offended him, as well as whether a counselor's religiosity influences his willingness to encourage a client to forgive someone who has hurt or offended that client.

From the Paper:

"The subject and benefits of forgiveness have also recently appeared in the popular media, which portrays forgiveness as a simplistic phenomenon; however, according to many psychological researchers, forgiveness tends to be an effortful yet beneficial process that takes time. In other words, according to forgiveness researchers, forgiveness may be a more difficult process than that displayed in the media. "
