Status Updates From Anger Management for Dummies

That quote, about forgiveness. Pays lip service to the fact that it is very harmful to encourage someone to forgive an abuser, while simultaneously guilting them for making the unhealthy choice. No wonder they ended up doing a completely new edition from a different author!

"It's true that forgiveness is a voluntary act. No one can (or should force you to forgive another person. As a therapist, I've never advised a client to forgive someone. What I do, though, is offer forgiveness as an option that each person should consider in her efforts to find peace of mind. But the choice is entirely hers. And, of course, I offer to support her if she makes this healthy choice."

So much wrong :(
