Leading authors tackle topics in every aspect of the greater cultural surround into which the question of forgiveness fits, from marriage to international relations to religion, delving into community both at home and on a global scale. The most comprehensive and authoritative resource on the theory and research of forgiveness, this book examines research from both a scientific and sociological perspective and explores its implications in the practice of therapy. An invaluable tool for researchers and practitioners alike, this volume provides a complete reference to the effective use of forgiveness in therapy."--BOOK JACKET.
