Abstract
http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/14712-001 Forgiveness and Spirituality in Psychotherapy: A Relational Approach, by E. L. Worthington, Jr. and S. J. Sandage Copyright ©2016 by the American Psychological Association. All rights reserved. Luisa has a problem—several, really. She and her partner—“We’re not married, but we’ve been together for 14 years”—are embedded in deep conflict that has recently gotten worse. They hurt each other often, and they are bitter toward each other. Their 13-year-old son (Jamie) and 10-year-old daughter (Maria) are being affected, and the 13-year-old is demanding more independence and playing off Luisa against her partner, Carlos. Jamie was recently suspended from middle school for looking at pornography on the school computer and, as subsequent school investigation showed, exchanging naked pictures of himself with several young women in his class. Below is an exchange between Luisa and her psychotherapist.
