Dr. Ho, Dr. Joynt, Dr. VanderWeele, & Andrea Ortega Bechara: Forgiveness as a Path to Repair Part 2

Dr. Ho, Dr. Joynt, Dr. VanderWeele, & Andrea Ortega Bechara: Forgiveness as a Path to Repair Part 2

Today is the second in a two-part series that explores the subject of forgiveness. We hear more about the ground-breaking, six-site, five-country, four-continent study of Dr. Everett Worthington’s REACH forgiveness method’s effectiveness. We’re joined in conversation with Dr. Tyler VanderWeele, project Research Director; Principal Investigator Dr. Man Yee Ho; and site directors Andrea Ortega Bechara (Columbia) and Dr. Shaun Joynt (South Africa). They describe the impact of the study on individual participants and their communities, how they hope to scale the study, and who they consider an exemplar of forgiveness as a path to repair.
