Course Description
This course considers the clinical implications related to perspectives on forgiveness. It is not uncommon for
clinicians to see clients affected by interpersonal transgressions. Forgiveness is an approach that some clients
will decide to pursue, and it represents a positive psychological response to interpersonal harms that can
contribute to numerous positive outcomes. Forgiveness can be defined as the release of resentment or anger. It
is vitally important for the mental health of those who have been victimized, as it propels them forward rather than
keeping them emotionally engaged in trauma or injustice. This course details three approaches to forgiveness:
the Enright forgiveness process Model, the “Reach” method and the 9 steps process. After learning about these
approaches, it details the potential clinical implications of a focus on forgiveness, providing valuable insight and
advice.
Learning Objectives
After completing this training the professional will:
- identify and compare three approaches to forgiveness.
- describe potential clinical implications of a focus on forgiveness.
