White Paper · March 2026

The Anthropological Paradigm of Therapeutic Forgiveness

This white paper introduces a dual-axis model for assessing psychological engagement and existential orientation simultaneously. It bridges four decades of forgiveness research (Enright, Worthington, Luskin) with Catholic theological anthropology, and proposes a clinical instrument — the TFI — for cross-discipline assessment. Published with DOI on Zenodo and indexed in ORCID and Google Scholar.Este artículo presenta un modelo de dos ejes para evaluar el compromiso psicológico y la orientación existencial simultáneamente.
