AB - Aim: The aim of this paper is to describe the assumptions of the Good Lives Model (GLM) in the context of traditional therapeutic methods based on risk management (RNR), as well as to assess its usefulness and effectiveness in therapeutic and rehabilitative work with patients in forensic psychiatric units.Main results: According to the GLM approach, an effective way to reduce the risk of reoffending is to provide forensic patients with the necessary conditions for a better life and to develop their ability to meet their needs (or acquire goods important to them) using socially acceptable means and methods. This involves learning how to live a “good life” and adopting desirable behavior patterns as alternatives to previous unlawful behaviors. Working within the GLM framework yields better therapeutic outcomes than relying solely on methods aimed at minimizing the risk of recidivism.Practical implications for forensic science: The dissemination of the GLM concept in Polish forensic psychiatric units would enable staff working with mental health offenders to take a broader perspective on the issue of their social maladjustment and the etiology of unlawful behavior. It would also equip professionals with additional ideas and tools for therapeutic work. As a result of the rehabilitation efforts undertaken, the likelihood of patients committing offenses after being discharged from forensic units should decrease.
