- W49617454 abstract "Two studies are utilized to investigate the efficacy of a forgiveness session with marital couples. Study 1 was a randomized clinical trail with 44 couples (N = 88 participants) comparing a forgiveness treatment group (n = 38); a problem-solving treatment group (n = 32); and a control group (n = 18). Study 2 was a study of the efficacy, from pre- to post-intervention of the forgiveness session with a select Christian group (N = 26 participants). The studies provide initial evidence that a three-hour forgiveness session, which utilizes a step-by-step decision-based approach, may increase forgiveness and marital satisfaction and decrease depression in marital couples. Research and practice experience are starting to show that forgiveness can be a significant factor in the restoration and healing of hurting relationships (Al-Mabuk, Enright, & Cardis, 1995; DiBlasio, 2000; Enright & The Human Development Study Group, 1991; Hehl & Enright, 1993; Lin, Mack, Enright, Krahn & Baskin, 2004; Reed & Enright, 2006). Although approaches to understanding forgiveness and intervention strategies differ, there is generally agreement that forgiveness promotes the well-being of relationships. Once a neglected topic in clinical practice and in research, the forgiveness literature has flourished since the 1990s, documenting significant gains in research knowledge and clinical application. For example, some of the factors that have been associated with increased ability to forgive include; mutual empathy between offender and victim (McCullough, Fincham, & Tsang, 2003; Toussaint & Webb, 2005; Worthington, 1998); rebuilding of trust (DiBlasio, 2000; Fincham, Beach, & Davila, 2004; Gordon & Baucom, 2003; Kim, Ferrin, Cooper, & Dirks, 2004; Olson, Russell, & Higgins-Kessler, 2002); commitment and attachment levels of the relationships (Finkel, Rusbult, Kumashiro, & Hannon, 2002; Karremans, Van Lange, Ouwerkerk, & Kluwer, 2003; Lawler-Row, Younger, Piferi, & Jones, 2006); repentance and remorse of the offender (Olson et al., 2002); forgiving cognitions and decisions (Bono & McCullough, 2006; DiBlasio, 2000; Ferch, 1998; Fincham et al., 2004); emotional readiness (Enright et al., 1991; Olson et al., 2002; Worthington, 1998); spiritual connectiveness (DiBiasio, 1999; DiBlasio & Cheong, in press; Rye, 2005); and the passing of time (Finkel et al. 2002; WalrondSkinner, 1998). Clinical experience and research findings indicate that forgiveness brings increased marital satisfaction (DiBlasio, 2000; Fincham et al., 2004; Kachadourian, Fincham, & Davila, 2005; Paleari, Regalia, & Fincham, 2005; RosenGrandon, Myers, & Hattie, 2004) and a decrease in depression (Lawler, Younger, Piferi, Jobe, Edmondson, & Jones, 2005; Lin et al., 2004; Reed & Enright, 2006; Tse & Cheng, 2005; Thompson et al., 2005). Paleari et al. (2005) found that spouses indicated that seeking and granting forgiveness were primary functions in a healthy marriage. One intervention focuses on a step-by-step procedure that leads to decision-based forgiveness in a three-hour psychotherapeutic encounter (DiBlasio, 1999; 2000; DiBlasio & Benda, 2002; DiBlasio St Cheong, in press). The focus is on the decision to forgive, which involves steps that allow an emotional, cognitive and behavioral process. Decision-based forgiveness is defined as the letting go of the need for vengeance and releasing negative thoughts of bitterness and resentment. It involves a willful decision to restructure thought life and cognitions regarding the offender and the offense. Clinical observation of the intervention shows that immediately after a forgiveness decision people find positive emotional and behavioral changes that are commensurate with the decision. A decision to forgive is often followed by healing, an dit initiates a reconciliatory process between loved ones. Study 1 Introduction The purpose of the present study is to determine whether an intervention is effective in facilitating forgiveness, marital satisfaction, and decreasing depression in a three-hour session with spouses when compared to problem-solving treatment and no treatment. …" @default.
