Kurzfassung/Abstract

Forgiveness is increasingly recognized as an important factor that influences both psychological and physical well-being. This review synthesizes current models connecting forgiveness of others with health, including Enright’s Process Model, the REACH Forgiveness model, the stress-and-coping model of forgiveness, and the biopsychosocial-spiritual approach. Forgiveness is conceptualized not merely as a moral value but as a complex, multi-stage process beneficial to mental health, stress reduction, and physiological outcomes. Through structured phases, the aforementioned models outline forgiveness as an adaptive response to interpersonal transgressions, facilitating emotional resilience and enhancing well-being. Enright’s model, with its stage-based journey from emotional release to psychological healing, and the REACH model, emphasizing empathy and commitment, both underscore forgiveness as an emotion-focused coping strategy. Additionally, the stress-and-coping model positions forgiveness as a broad mechanism to mitigate the adverse effects of stress, while the biopsychosocial-spiritual approach integrates forgiveness into a holistic framework of health. Evidence from therapeutic interventions suggests that structured forgiveness programs enhance well-being, reduce anger, and promote resilience. However, challenges persist in measuring forgiveness’s direct impact on physical health outcomes, necessitating further research with diverse cultural contexts and physiological indicators. This review highlights the multifaceted health benefits of forgiveness, while also calling for refined assessment tools and an exploration of forgiveness’s potential adverse effects under certain conditions, such as in cases of excessive rumination.
