“…Accordingly, treatment goals are approach-oriented and linked explicitly to the client’s values and priorities (for more on the application of the GLM in sexual offending treatment, see Willis et al, 2013; Yates et al, 2010). The effectiveness of GLM-based treatment programs has yet to be well-researched, with a recent systematic review identifying just five studies examining outcomes of GLM consistent programs (Mallion et al, 2020). Although no studies examined recidivism data, Mallion et al found some for support for increased client motivation and engagement in GLM-based programs compared to relapse prevention oriented programs.…”

Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are common in the histories of individuals who have sexually offended. Many risk factors for sexual recidivism resemble symptoms of early trauma, and early trauma may present a responsivity barrier to engagement in offense-focused treatment. Using the ACE scale, the current study aimed to (i) examine relationships between ACE scores and static and dynamic risk assessment scores, (ii) examine whether ACE scores differ between treatment completers versus noncompleters, and finally (iii) examine whether ACE scores predict treatment noncompletion. ACE scores were retrospectively coded from files of adult men receiving community-based assessment and/or treatment in New Zealand for sexual offenses against children ( N = 491; n = 185–411 for individual analyses). Although effect sizes were generally small, static risk and general self-regulation dynamic risk factors correlated positively with ACE scores, ACE scores were higher for treatment noncompleters versus completers, and higher dynamic risk assessment scores and ACE scores increased the odds of treatment noncompletion. Implications for future research and enhancing treatment responsivity are discussed.

“…The GLM provides a more goal-oriented and strengths-based offender rehabilitation than interventions based on the RNR model. A recent systematic review of 17 articles provides some insights into the empirical evidence for the main assumptions of the GLM and outputs for offender rehabilitation ( 36 ). The authors found mixed results regarding the main assumptions of the GLM.…”

Forensic mental health care primarily focuses on aspects of safety. Treatment is involuntary, and personal rights are highly restricted. Both direct and indirect coercion and significant power imbalances can impede not only the psychological state of inpatients but also their treatment motivation and the therapeutic process in general. However, successful treatment is essential to enable patients to regain their freedom. Therefore, the question arises whether and how health professionals, without disregarding the potential risks, can enable forensic psychiatric patients to experience meaningfulness and self-efficacy in their lives. In offender rehabilitation, the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model and Good Lives Model (GLM) are widely established theories. The RNR model focuses not only on the risk of recidivism but also on those needs of a person that provoke or prevent criminal behavior and the individual’s ability to respond to various kinds of interventions. In contrast, the GLM aims to reduce the risk of re-offending by enabling an individual to live a “good life,” i.e., a meaningful and fulfilling life. Originally developed in correctional services, i.e., for offenders without severe mental disorders, both the RNR model and the GLM have also been tested in forensic psychiatric treatment contexts. The Recovery Model is based on the concept of personal recovery in mental health care and is understood as the development of a sense of purpose and mastery in one’s own life during the process of coping with the sequelae of a mental disorder. It is a central element of rehabilitation in general, but is also being increasingly applied in forensic psychiatric treatment settings. This review aims to compare the central concepts of the three models, in particular regarding personal development, and the current evidence for their efficacy in mentally disordered offenders.

“…While the GLM has been theoretically refined over the last several years, empirical evaluations have been notably limited. Specifically, evaluations of GLM have been largely confined to sex offender populations, rarely use RCTs or include a control group, and do not often evaluate the long‐term outcomes of treatment, ultimately resulting in insufficient evidence to speak to the effectiveness of GLM (Mallion et al., 2020; Netto et al., 2014; Zeccola et al., 2021; Ziv, 2018).…”

Correctional rehabilitation and positive psychology: Opportunities and challenges

At this point it is clear that the pursuit of the rehabilitative ideal is stitched into the DNA of American corrections.However, in our collective quest to establish and defend 'what works,' correctional rehabilitation has lingered in a state of preoccupation with risks, deficits, and individual pathology. The framework of Positive Psychology provides an alluring blueprint for an approach to correctional rehabilitation where people are not considered different humans who are reduced to their deficits and their worst decisions. In the current paper we explore the possibilities of incorporating the principles of Positive Psychology into correctional rehabilitation to help promote a notion of correctional success that is more dynamic, humanizing, and inclusive. We begin by discussing the development, progression, and current state of correctional rehabilitation. We then turn to discussing the development, progression, and current state of Positive Psychology, suggesting that there is a missed opportunity in applying its principles to people who are impacted by the criminal justice system. We conclude with a section discussing the opportunities and challenges of bringing correctional rehabilitation and Positive Psychology together.
