Abstract
- Victims with traumatic histories and hatred may suspect that forgiveness is an impossible illusion and resign themselves to an existence in a harsh, hostile world in which one is destined to live chronically by one’s sword; such a stance undermines constructive vision, hinders learning from experience, and obstructs healing and renewal. It is therefore crucial to enable the unfolding of a culture of forgiveness as an essential element woven into the process of reconciliation with oneself and others. In the framework of this dynamic the process of mourning all losses is of crucial importance, in order to restore the capacity to believe and to enable a dialogue to unfold. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
