Critic Reviews
Forgiveness is a worthwhile topic, one sorely needed in the modern world, and Enright and Fitzgibbons offer an important perspective on it in their latest book. It is not the only approach, but it is an insightful one and deserves attention of both researchers and clinicians. Reading their book makes one think, and given the significance of the subject matter, that is valuable indeed. (PsycCRITIQUES)
