| Summary: | This qualitative study explores the meaning of interpersonal forgiveness,
using a both/and or postmodern epistemology and a phenomenological
methodology. Forgiveness is seen as a reframe that could transform a
limiting, disempowering dominant narrative into a more empowering and
useful story. The researcher interviews three participants to co-create stories
of forgiveness. Themes of emotional discomfort; blame and responsibility;
shift to empathy; forgiveness as process; and lasting change or forgiveness
incorporated into way of life, are identified. === Psychology === M.A. (Clinical Psychology) |
