For psychologists and psychotherapists, the notion of forgiveness has been enjoying a substantial vogue. For their patients, it holds the promise of "moving on" and healing emotional wounds. The forgiveness of others - and of one's self - would seem to offer the kind of peace that psychotherapy alone has never been able to provide. In this volume, psychologist Sharon Lamb and philosopher Jeffrie Murphy argue that forgiveness has been accepted as a therapeutic strategy without serious, critical examination. They intend this volume to be a closer, critical look at some of these questions: why...

It is increasingly difficult to use the word -victim- these days without facing either ridicule for -crying victim- or criticism for supposed harshness toward those traumatized. Some deny the possibility of -recovering- repressed memories of abuse, or consider date rape an invention of whining college students. At the opposite extreme, others contend that women who experience abuse are -survivors- likely destined to be psychically wounded for life.
While the debates rage between victims' rights advocates and -backlash- authors, the contributors to New Versions of Victims...

While girls of color are often pictured as at risk or engaged in risky behavior, the analyses of focus groups and classroom discussions, show not only girls vulnerabilities but their strengths as they work with integrating diverse identities, media messages, school policy and history into their understanding...
