Abstract

The paper aimed to highlight the significant impact of psychological reconciliation on the healing and inner peace of individuals or groups who have experienced violence and human rights abuses due to war and conflict. It examined twelve (14) research papers on psychological reconciliation and its substantial effect on individuals in regaining inner peace after post-conflict experiences. The findings indicate that psychological reconciliation is a necessary and initial step in addressing the psychological and emotional trauma caused by war and conflict. Through psychological reconciliation, victims and perpetrators can dialogue to confront misconceptions, conflicts, biases, discrimination, and injustices. This process fosters a shared goal of justice, understanding, forgiveness, reunification, and healing for achieving inner peace.
