Symposium on Forgiveness | S1P1 | Meaning Conference 2002

Symposium on Forgiveness - Spirituality in Psychotherapy: Transformation through forgiveness and encountering the transcendent
Part 1
S1 Chuck Macknee, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Trinity Western University

This paper discusses the nature of forgiveness and encountering the transcendent as spiritual transformation processes for the client and the therapist. Accepting the responsibility to forgive based on love and grace and relinquishing the damaging effects of abuse by giving responsibility back to the offender are illustrated by a case example. The experience of a spontaneous transcendent encounter by another client during therapy demonstrates that forgiveness and change also occur when a spiritual force beyond humanity intervenes on our behalf. Spiritually based rituals and implications for therapists' sensitivity to the spiritual dimension are revealed, including specific practices of the author such as: relinquishment, acceptance and love, creativity, meditation, listening, and openness to the forces of the transcendent.

Educational Objectives:
1) Explore the nature of forgiveness and the impact of encountering the transcendent for both the client and the therapist.
2) Evaluate case examples of forgiveness based on love and grace.
3) Learn about specific spiritually based rituals involved in the process of forgiveness, such as relinquishment, acceptance and love, meditation and openness to the forces of the transcendent.
