“The Forgiveness Solution makes two bold claims—that unforgiveness underlies virtually all psychological problems and that the solution to that underlying problem (and also other problems) is to forgive. Philip H. Friedman, equipped by years of practical psychotherapy experience, offers you a practical, powerful, and personal book that will help you forgive. Doable exercises are engaging, useful, and therapy-tested. While many psychologists integrate scientific findings into their practice, I know of no therapist who does as often as Friedman. His integration of research and practice has resulted in a book that will help you, teach you, and heal you. It is the best blend of science and clinical practice.”

—STEVAN THAYER, Director, the Center of Being and author of Interview with an Angel
