ABSTRACT
The past 19 years have seen a birth of interest in forgiveness by psychologists, counselors, psychiatrists, researchers, religious leaders, and the general pub-lic. For example, Konstam, Marx, Schurer, Emerson Lombardo, and Harrington (2002), in their research with mental health counselors, found that “90% of respondents indicated that forgiving is an important clinical issue and would be interested in pursuing professional training focusing on forgiveness related issues in clinical practice” (p. 69).
