It really is a series of experiences and the forgiveness part of it, the moment I sort of break through the opening of ‘the door,’ often comes as a surprise,” Dr. Halling said, during the conversation with Center Director and Spehar-Halligan Professor Dr. Michael Reid Trice. 

A licensed psychologist and Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Dr. Steen Halling has taught at Seattle University since 1976. He served both as department chair and director of the MA program.

Dr. Halling’s research and publications focus on topics such as psychology of forgiveness, phenomenological study of psychopathology, psychology of hopelessness, interpersonal relations and qualitative research methods. He is editor of the Seattle University International Human Science Research Conference Newsletter alongside Diane Tomhave, who serves on the CEIE Advisory Council, and is author of “Intimacy, Transcendence, and Psychology: Connection and Openness in Everyday Life” (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008).
