Can relieving the weight of guilt restore a general sense of self-worth? Can an individual's dawning awareness give birth to feelings of remorse; perhaps even to acts of repentance?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concepts of betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness have long been a major part of religious doctrine throughout the world. However, only in recent times has the impact of these emotions become of interest to those involved in psychological study. In \u003ci\u003eThe Psychology of Feeling Sorry\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter Randall links contemporary psychological research with religious teachings and doctrine that have provided spiritual guidance for hundreds of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrated with explanatory narratives, Randall fuses religious precepts with psychological theory concerning one of the least understood but most common of human emotions; feeling bad about one's 'sins'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing an eclectic approach Randall explores how much of what is believed within the domain of faith is now supported by modern psychological research. This book will be of interest not only to those with religious beliefs, but to psychologists, psychotherapists, students, and anyone with an interest in the intersection of psychology, psychotherapy, and theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Randall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415600464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415600460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Peter Randall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112895852799,"sku":"9780415600460","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a98e879-b5c2-4a91-91cf-48c7961bcafa.jpg?v=1769611669","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-psychology-of-feeling-sorry-peter-randall-9780415600460","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
