A Journal Review of “Self Forgiveness: The Stepchild of Forgiveness Research Gordon B. Johnson Liberty University Counseling 506-DO2 Dr. Breazeale 23 Mar 2012 Summary In this article, the researchers seek to perform a conceptual analysis of self-forgiveness, including defining and distinguishing it from interpersonal forgiveness and pseudo self-forgiveness, in hopes of stimulating effective research on the subject matter (Hall & Fincham, 2005). According to (Hall & Fincham, 2005), while there has been much research devoted to the concept of forgiveness between perpetrator and victim (interpersonal forgiveness), there exists surprisingly few studies analyzing the subject of intrapersonal or self-forgiveness. The authors begin by defining self-forgiveness as “a willingness to abandon self-resentment in the face of one’s own acknowledged objective wrong, while fostering compassion, generosity, and love toward oneself” (Hall & Fincham, 2005, p. 622). A detailed comparison of the two forms of forgiveness is examined, including a chart emphasizing the distinctions between intrapersonal and interpersonal forgiveness. As stated by Hall and Fincham (2005), there exist two possible foci of self-forgiveness available to humans, the first is the forgiving of one’s “self” for a self-inflicted injury or, conversely, the forgiving of one’s self for an injury to another person.
Self-Forgiveness: the Stepchild of Forgiveness Research Luisa S. D. Liberty University This is a journal article review critically reviewing the article “Self-Forgiveness: the Stepchild of Forgiveness Research” published in Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology in 2005, written by Julie H. Hall and Frank D. Fincham. The first session of this review will summarize the article, the second session will cover this author’s interaction with this article, and finally the third session will reveal this author’s attempt to put into application the material learned in this article. Summary This journal article serves as an introduction to Self-Forgiveness. Self-forgiveness is defined as an emotional expression of love and respect toward one-self and putting aside the negative thoughts stemmed from wrong actions. Self-forgiveness is similar to interpersonal forgiveness, for which there is much more literature available, but self-forgiveness is classified as intrapersonal forgiveness.

The average age of the participants collectively was 23.6 years, and if one had reported meditating for more than thirty minutes a day, they were excluded. The scientists conducting the study also assessed participant’s moods through another exercise called neutral imagery induction (IMAGERY). The two groups of participants (LKM and IMAGERY) were directed through both explicit (open) and implicit (contained) responses toward each other through guided procedures. For the LKM group, participant’s responses to five photographs of people were measured and evaluated before AND Fahey 2 after their sessions of meditation (the
When she finally voiced concerns over her mental state to a male psychologist, her voice fell to just below a whisper. Since she was physically fine, he told her all she needed was rest from her emotions, even restricting her from writing. Gilman wrote “The Yellow Wallpaper” after she defied his “prescription” for isolation nearly three months after she was subjected to it. Restricting any form of emotional release during long periods of time causes damage to a person’s mental health. Gilman was able to find a way through the emotional distress that nearly broke her state of mind and felt pure euphoria when she did it.
Outline and evaluate research into STM and LTM. 12 Marks One key study into STM was researched by Peterson and Lloyd to 24 students that went to their university. Whereby an experimenter said a constant syllable to the participant followed by a 3 digit number – and immediately after hearing the syllable the participant had to count backwards in 3’s or 4’s until told to stop. Then the participant was asked to recall the syllable. They found that participants remembered about 90% when there was only a second interval; but this dropped to 2% when an 18 second interval was emplaced.
It was also agreed that there would be no fee for the therapy. Having interviewed DE and assessed the information in the Initial Consultation Form (annexe A), I am totally satisfied that there are no presiding medical or ethical issues. We discussed the possibility of DE approaching her doctor for advice to stop smoking, but she stated that she had already done this several times, and she no longer had any confidence in the techniques he was recommending. DE is keen to try hypnotherapy to become a non-smoker, as several of her friends have been successful in trying this route. We agreed to complete one session of hypnotherapy which would last up to 2 hours, in total, using the guidelines taught to me by my tutor.
