Issues relating to the use of forgiveness in counselling and psychotherapy
TLDR
Forgiveness is also one of the spiritual interventions most frequently used by psychotherapists as discussed by the authors, however, although it has been explored as an element in psychotherapy, the models generated have had little impact on research and practice.Abstract:
This paper explores forgiveness, which is a key component of spiritual pastoral care. Encouraging forgiveness is also one of the spiritual interventions most frequently used by psychotherapists. However, although forgiveness has been explored as an element in psychotherapy, the models generated have had little impact on research and practice. Recent research into forgiveness in therapy is considered, including several models put forward for its use. Some of the implications of the use of forgiveness in therapeutic practice are examined and guidelines for the use of forgiveness in psychotherapy are put forward based on the work of the Forgiveness Project at the University of Manchester.read more
