Abstract:
Research suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can decrease recidivism for those who sexually offend. The use of CBT for the treatment of those who sexually offend is recommended as part of the responsivity principle of the risk-needs-responsivity model. However, in recent years there has been a movement in the field to incorporate elements of positive psychology and strengths-based approaches such as the Good Lives Model into correctional treatment to increase motivation, retention, and program engagement. This article will explore how to effectively integrate strengths-based approaches into CBT interventions for individuals who have sexually offended.
