Forgiveness in the Wake of Severe Violence

The book explores the transformative experiences of five adults who engaged in Facilitated Victim-Offender Dialogues (VOD) following severe violence, leading them to forgive their transgressors. Through narrative analysis, it examines their stories and identifies key themes that resonate with existing research on restorative justice and forgiveness. The work provides insights into the emotional and psychological impacts of VOD, offering implications for future research and practical recommendations for both professionals and the general public interested in these critical issues.
