“…In 16 of the studies we reviewed, as expected, forgiveness intervention programs were found to have a statistically significant effect on the experimental groups. However, in 3 studies (Göregen, 2022;Murat, 2021;Parlak & Öksüz-Gül), such an effect was not fully observed. Experimental studies conducted abroad and the meta-analyses examining them generally indicate the effectiveness of intervention programs related to forgiveness (Akhtar & Barlow, 2016;Baskin & Enright, 2004;Harris, Luskin, Norman, Standard, Bruning, Evans, & Thoresen, 2006;López, Serrano, Giménez, & Noriega, 2021;Lundahl, Taylor, Stevenson, & Roberts, 2008).…”

With the rise in the popularity of the positive mental health perspective, the concept of forgiveness has captured the attention of numerous researchers in the psychology and mental health domains. This heightened interest has resulted in a notable surge in studies focused on identifying the variables associated with forgiveness. Beyond elucidating the connection between forgiveness and psychological well-being, there is a growing emphasis on studies that aim to enhance individuals' knowledge, skills, and positive attitudes toward forgiveness. In this study utilizing a descriptive research model, 13 theses and 7 articles featuring experimental interventions on forgiveness were scrutinized. The evaluation encompassed the composition of the research group, the primary disciplines and publication years, the study design, characteristics of the applied group intervention, the entity administering it, session numbers, utilized measurement tools, and the effectiveness of the intervention. The findings indicate that all forgiveness interventions effectively heightened participants' knowledge and skills regarding forgiveness, fostering a positive attitude toward forgiveness. In summary, forgiveness interventions are associated with increased forgiveness and a positive impact on psychological health.

“…In the literature review, intervention programs that were prepared and implemented separately for the variables of optimism (Avcı, 2009), self-compassion (Sarıcaoğlu & Arslan, 2019), altruism (Nedim-Bal & Topuz, 2015) and gratitude (Kocatepe, 2020), It is known that it contributes positively to the development of the relevant characteristics of the participants. In addition, when the experimental studies in the context of forgiveness are examined, it is seen that the intervention programs prepared for forgiveness, although they are planned on different contents, make positive contributions to the forgiveness skills of emerging adults (Bugay & Demir, 2012; Goldman & Wade, 2012; Ji et al, 2016; McCullough, 1995; Parlak & Öksüz-Gül, 2021; Vural-Batık & Afyonkale-Talay, 2021). Based on these evidence-based intervention programs, psycho-educational programs for forgiveness, supported by the personality characteristics of optimism, self-compassion, altruism and gratitude, can be administered to emerging adults in groups of 12–14 within 8–10 sessions.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate whether optimism, self-compassion, altruism, and gratitude act as mediators in the relationship between cognitive distortions and emerging adults' forgiveness of themselves, others, and situations. The sample consisted of 488 university students in their emerging adulthood, comprising 66.20% females and 33.80% males, ranging in age from 18 to 32 years ( M = 20.32, SD = 2.43). The data were collected using a demographic information form and six self-report scales. In addition to descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Bootstrap Analysis were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that optimism, self-compassion, altruism, and gratitude significantly mediated the relationship between cognitive distortions and forgiveness of self ( b = −.109, %95 BCA CI [−.133 to −.086]), others ( b = −.096, %95 BCA CI [−.117 to −.076]), and situations ( b = −.099, %95 BCA CI [−.117 to −.082]). Self-compassion ( K2 = −.14) was found to be the strongest mediator in the self-forgiveness model, followed by altruism ( K2 = −.19) in the forgiveness of others model, and optimism ( K2 = −.27) in the forgiveness of situations model. The study highlights the potential use of positive psychology concepts such as optimism, self-compassion, altruism, and gratitude to reduce the negative effect of cognitive distortions on emerging adults' forgiveness and to enhance their forgiveness skills.

The article presents a theoretical-methodological analysis of the psychodrama method of group psychotherapy. It examines the aim, objectives, advantages, peculiarities and structure of classical psychodrama as a method of group psychotherapy. Also, the article attempts to define psychodrama as a group psychotherapy process. It studies the links between psychodrama and methods of various psychological approaches. Importantly, the article suggests a phenomenological approach to studying the interaction among the participants in psychodramatic psychotherapy groups to develop effective technologies for implementing psychodramatic techniques. It justifies the methodological and methodical essence of psychodramatic technologies in group psychotherapy, its main characteristics and goals. From the perspective of an integrative approach, psychodramatic technologies in group psychotherapy ensure the interrelation and interdependence of its psychodiagnostic and psychodevelopmental components. Meanwhile, the article considers the organizational, methodical and structural-dynamic features of using the interactive and role-playing method in group psychotherapy depending on the type of psychodrama. It shows how one can practically apply the “mirroring” psychotechnique in combination with the fairy tale metaphor (the method of enacting a fairy tale) in all types of psychodrama, along with an analysis of the advantages of its use and resourcefulness. Finally, the article discusses a methodical combination of psychodrama and transactional analysis within the “psychodramatic triangle” technique. It provides methodical recommendations for emotional disorder correction using the psychodrama method. The relevant indicators of the effectiveness and efficiency of the psychodrama method in group psychotherapy include catharsis, insight, expressions of trust and a sense of comfort in the space of group interaction and feedback, as an existing objective reality.
