Abstract

© 2020, British Psychological Society. All rights reserved. Twenty-three people with psychosis were interviewed about their subjective experience of ‘forgiveness’. Resulting themes of enabling conditions, thinking styles, psychological and interpersonal benefits, and need for caution may inform clinical practice on trauma, adverse life events, and relationships in psychosis.
