The Psychology of Feeling Sorry by Peter Randall
Can feeling genuinely sorry enable an important healing experience? 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? This book explores these questions and much more."The book is a fascinating, rich, and highly rewarding account of the complexity of feeling sorry with its related phenomenology, actions, and interpersonal reverberations.. There is much that is relevant to psychologists in the helping professions, including the likelihood that regrets and shame might emerge toward the end of one’s life. Interpersonal transgressions weigh down on people—hence the title of Randall’s volume—and a strength of the book is that it does not follow affective science blindly in giving quantitative succour to qualitative spiritual questions but seeks answers instead in the complex details of human secular and faith-based existence." - Gavin Sullivan, Leeds Metropolitan University, PsycCRITIQUES
