Beyond Deficits: Building on the Positive

The GLM takes a positive psychological approach to offender rehabilitation. In general, this means that the model “has its roots in the positive psychology and humanistic traditions” (Ward & Gannon, 2006, p. 78). However, according to Ward and Maruna (2007), the GLM “was developed independently of the positive psychology movement” (pp. 110–111). Indeed, Ward and his collaborators. often discuss the theoretical aspects of positive psychology only through its shared core assumptions with the GLM (e.g., Ward, Mann, & Gannon, 2007). Therefore, the opening section of this chapter tries to fill this gap of knowledge with a brief introduction of humanistic and positive psychology. In addition, this section introduces the strength-based approach to offender rehabilitation. Such an introduction is important because the GLM is considered to be a strength-based rehabilitation framework that encourages intervention programs to focus on an offender’s strengths and goals.
