Summary

This study tested a special type of counseling that combines forgiveness with motivational interviewing in 30 COPD patients. Half received the counseling, half did not. Those who got the counseling reported less fear of death, more life satisfaction, and a greater ability to forgive. The approach is simple and could be used alongside regular medical care.
