Can feeling genuinely sorry enable an important healing
experience? Can relieving the weight of guilt restore a general
sense of self-worth? Can an individual's dawning awareness give
birth to feelings of remorse; perhaps even to acts of
repentance?
The concepts of betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness have long
been a major part of religious doctrine throughout the world.
However, only in recent times has the impact of these emotions
become of interest to those involved in psychological study. In
"The Psychology of Feeling Sorry," Peter Randall links contemporary
psychological research with religious teachings and doctrine that
have provided spiritual guidance for hundreds of years.
Illustrated with explanatory narratives, Randall fuses religious
precepts with psychological theory concerning one of the least
understood but most common of human emotions; feeling bad about
one's 'sins'.
Using an eclectic approach Randall explores how much of what is
believed within the domain of faith is now supported by modern
psychological research. This book will be of interest not only to
those with religious beliefs, but to psychologists,
psychotherapists, students, and anyone with an interest in the
intersection of psychology, psychotherapy, and theology.
