The distress caused by the various demands of being the caregiver of a person suffering from schizophrenia both in terms of its physical, emotional, social, as well as financial aspects raised negative emotions in a person which in turn would be a burden in its own right for the caregivers. The caregivers would go through a variety of negative experiences so that there will be a tendency of blaming the self, others, as well as the situation, which would eventually have implications of increasing the subjective burden of the caregiver. This research aimed to see the impacts of forgiveness therapy in increasing the level of forgiveness and decreasing the subjective burdens of the caregivers of schizophrenics.
