The conference will be multidisciplinary, drawing on distinctive perspectives and practices of social scientists, health professionals, chaplains and clergy. The conference will focus on ways that practitioners can integrate spirituality - broadly defined - into the treatment of mental and physical health problems. In addition the conference will consider ways that basic researchers can study forgiveness scientifically.

Presentations, workshops and posters will focus on developing an understanding of forgiveness in practice, addressing topics on:

• hard-to-forgive transgressions; self-forgiveness; health consequences of unforgiveness; forgiveness in close relationships and of strangers who harm.
