Bringing together a distinguished array of contributors, this volume reviews the breadth of current knowledge on the psychology of forgiveness. It provides a historical and conceptual overview, examing definitional problems and giving special attention to religious and cultural influences on how forgiveness is understood and experienced. Also included are the biological, developmental, social, and personality foundations of forgiveness and applications in clinical research and practice, including guidelines for studying and applying forgiveness-based strategies in psychotherapy, counseling, and interventions to promote health.
