“…This book is a therapeutic manual describing forgiveness therapy using eight keys, or phases, which include exercises and a discussion of values related to forgiveness. It is informed by the assumption that a trauma or an experience of injustice in the past, occurring mainly within the family, could leave scars in a person’s psyche, affecting their psychological well-being and relationships with others, their family, and themselves, leading among other things to drug abuse and criminal behavior more generally (Hargrave & Zasowski, 2016; A. Lander, 2012a; Rahman et al, 2018; Scobie & Scobie, 1998).…”

Religions have a significant and profound impact on cultures. Therefore, we must consider the impact of paradigms, ideas, and values rooted in the client’s religious theology while using therapeutic methods in the field. We term this a “theological-sensitive therapy” and exemplify it with the “translation” of a known therapeutic approach, forgiveness therapy, into a certain theological system, Judaism. Such a translation should be applied to other therapeutic approaches and different theological systems as well. Judaism is one of the oldest religions, preserving vast theoretical and practical knowledge that can be applied to mental health practice, offering insight and motivation that may lead to enhanced well-being for spiritually oriented clients. This article presents Jewish forgiveness therapy based on Enright’s social-scientific forgiveness therapy model. Based on an analysis of Jewish scriptures and subsequent Jewish commentaries, we emphasize the life-changing values related to forgiveness. In addition, we highlight unique innovations found in the Jewish scriptures that may augment and enrich existing psychotherapeutic approaches to forgiveness.

“…Major faiths encourage forgiveness, rather than holding onto grievances and being bound up in feelings of rage or thoughts of revenge (Hargrave, 1994;Worthington, 2006). Couple and family therapy can facilitate relational repair for those who seek reconciliation and forgiveness by drawing on clients' spiritual resources.…”

Religion and spirituality can be vital resources to strengthen relationships, healing, and resilience. Spiritual distress can increase suffering and block recovery. Yet the spiritual dimension of human experience has been neglected in mental health and healthcare training and services. This chapter addresses the significant influence of religion and spirituality for couples and families over the family life cycle and in light of cultural and religious diversity. Research on spiritual influences in suffering, healing, and resilience is noted. Clinical guidelines are offered to facilitate a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach to family psychology practice.
