This presentation will review several theoretical models of forgiveness, from both the clinical and the spiritual professions. An integrated approach will enhance both traditions. Clinical aspects of forgiveness touch upon the fringes of spiritual elements in the same way that Pastoral Counseling requires an understanding of clinical aspects of the process of Forgiveness. Spiritual aspects of this session will not use religious piety as a source and may be used by both theists and non-theists.
Participants will:
1. Learn three clinical models of forgiveness.
2. Learn two spiritual models of forgiveness.
3. Learn an integrated model (clinical/spiritual) model of forgiveness.
4. Discuss how to integrate these principles into counseling sessions.
