Las dimensiones del perdón

Abstract

Since we are in permanent interaction with significant others, certain events that could hurt meaningful relationships may happen. Transgressions promote impacts in our lives in a varying degree among individuals, and they may affect differently our relationships; an important component is our capacity to forgive. Such capacity has important implications for relationships and individual wellbeing as well. Personality dispositions involved in the forgiveness process will be exposed, as well as emotional and moral styles, involved emotions, and the psychological consequences of forgiveness. The role of psychotherapy will be emphasized, opening a perspective regarding the role of forgiveness as a social regulator.
