Introduction: Is forgiveness good for you? -- Cheap forgiveness: an inauthentic act of peacemaking that resolves nothing -- Refusing to forgive: a rigid response that keeps you entombed in hate -- Acceptance: a healing gift to yourself that asks nothing of the offender -- Genuine forgiveness: a healing transaction, an intimate dance -- Appendix: how the offender's childhood wounds shaped the way he treated you.

| Abstract
|
:
|
Drawing on twenty-nine years as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Spring proposes a radically new, life-affirming alternative that lets us overcome the corrosive effects of hate and get on with our lives--without forgiving. She also offers a powerful and unconventional model for genuine forgiveness--one that asks as much of the offender as it asks of us.
