Apologies in Difficult Family Situations

A sincere and timely apology can be a powerful tool to resolve conflict and pave the way for positive communication, though apologies do not always result in forgiveness.  Based on a review of empirical evidence, approaches for integrating apologies in difficult family situations will be discussed and practical strategies to help families deliver meaningful apologies to help repair relationships will be provided.
