Description

Forgiveness interventions have not been adapted for children, couples, families, and also specifically with Christians. Conceptualization and theorizing have lagged empirical studies. We use a stress-and-coping conceptualization of forgiveness to provide a framework for understanding forgiveness in family context, especially with Christians. Although several evidence-based interventions to promote forgiveness have been developed, few have targeted children, early adolescents, parents, families, and Christians. However, most will likely resonate with Christian beliefs and values and can be adapted to Christian families. More target high school adolescents and couples. Most are adaptations of (a) Enright's process model of forgiveness, (b) Worthington's emotional forgiveness through the REACH Forgiveness program, (c) DiBlasio's Decision-based model, and (d) Worthington's Forgiveness and Reconciliation through Experiencing Empathy--FREE--model. Such interventions need to be manualized and studied empirically to determine their efficacy in family context. Forgiveness is perhaps the central value to Christianity (Marty, 1998)--and with love is certainly one of the two most central values. Jesus told his followers to love their enemies (Mt 5:44), and he even made divine forgiveness contingent on forgiving people who sinned against them (Mt 6:14-5). However, forgiving is difficult, and Christians struggle with this central value of their faith (Smedes, 1984). Christians are not the only people who value forgiveness, nor are they the only ones who struggle with it. Each of the five major religions also values forgiveness (Rye et al., 2000), though each understands it differently, and forgiveness was long considered a religious construct.
