Hi Dipa -
Here is a link to a short article I wrote on the topic of Forgiveness:
http://www.hiddensolution.com/whatsnew.htm
I wrote a more detailed discussion, including case studies, in the chapter,
Guilt, Responsibility and Forgiveness: Lessons from Lifers in Prison in R.
Paloutzian and A. Kalayjian, Eds. Forgiveness and Reconciliation:
Psychological Pathways to Conflict Transformation and Peace Building. If
you go to the Amazon page and use the Look Inside feature, you can read most
of it online.

If that doesn't work, write me at Dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and I can send you
some text directly.
Finally, the topic is explored extensively in my book, I Carry Your Heart in
My Heart: Family Constellations in Prison. See www.HiddenSolution.com
<http://www.hiddensolution.com/> for more on that.

Hi all,
Dipa from Singapore here. being a 'newbie' in this work, could any of you
speak about 'forgiveness' in constellation work?
i'm a little unclear in that area as I understand that when the victim
'forgives' the perpetrator, the victim is elevating him/herself above the
perpetrator. so that is not helpful. how does forgiveness work then to bring
about balance and order again in a system ? examples would be great.
thanks!
blessings,
Dipa
