“…Reminiscent of the relational ethics discussed above, Ducommun-Nagy here highlighted the notions of constructive and destructive entitlement (Boszormenyi-Nagy and Krasner 1986, cited in Ducommun-Nagy in Kalayjian and Paloutzian 2010). According to this therapeutic tradition, '…our capacity to forgive others and make peace with them… depends on the degree of fairness that we have encountered in our relationships and in our world in general' (p. 33).…”

“…We might say that Paloutzian (in Kalayjian and Paloutzian 2010) comes 'zero to the bone' (in the words of Emily Dickinson) when he told of his experience of forgiveness in the context of the murder of a loved one. Commenting on what he terms a 'forgiveness process' (p. 75), he informed us that:…”

“…Massey (in Kalayjian and Paloutzian 2010) has engaged with the ecology of forgiveness and reconciliation. Noting Ducommun-Nagy's notion that 'all humans are characterized by an 'ontic' dimension; that is to say, we do not and cannot exist apart from others' (p. 87) Massey has stressed the pain and social contagion of traumatic rupture.…”

“…The cognitive and affective processes of awareness and change, which constitute the core of art-making, are also central to the making of peace (Gal-Ed, in Kalayjian and Paloutzian 2010). It is surprising, then, that more research attention has not been paid to this rich lode of thought.…”

The decade-long civil war in Sierra Leone was declared over in 2002, but the psychological impact of the conflict remains. The purpose of this study was to determine if forgiveness is related to improved adjustment to trauma and for what demographic groups it is most useful in postwar Sierra Leone. Data were collected as part of the Association for Trauma Outreach and Prevention of Meaningfulworld's humanitarian outreach mission to Sierra Leone in March of 2009. Participants were administered a sociodemographic questionnaire that included gender, age, religion, education, and employment variables. Trauma exposure and posttraumatic symptomatology were assessed using Parts 1 and 3 of the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire. Forgiveness was assessed using the Enright Forgiveness Inventory, which provides scores for total forgiveness and subscores for forgiving affect, behavior, and cognition. The role of gender and age were examined, and several significant relationships between forgiveness and trauma emerged. Trauma exposure and traumatic stress were significantly correlated, although traumatic stress showed a stronger relationship to forgiveness variables. Salient differences emerged between men and women and among older and younger participants. The strongest relationship between traumatic stress and forgiveness emerged in older women.
