Various intervention methods have been developed on the basis of theoretical approaches aiming to explain forgiveness as a learnable skill. This review was conducted to draw attention to the issue by addressing the effectiveness of interventions for forgiveness. The effectiveness of interventions for forgiveness has been studied in groups such as being a victim of cheating, separation, addiction, abuse or assault, being driven to crime, staying in an elderly care home. As a result of 24 studies that were included in the review, it is seen that the applied interventions make a significant difference, and long-term follow-up is important. There seems to be a need for studies testing interventions for forgiveness in Türkiye.
