Building a Better Life is the ultimate workbook for the treatment of adults who have sexually abused. It integrates the good lives and self-regulation models in a complete treatment program. Becoming the Man I Want to Be is a trim, lean, user-friendly good lives workbook for adult men who have been incarcerated or court-ordered into therapy for a wide range of criminal behaviors.

The Good Lives Model (GLM) is an overarching rehabilitation framework based on decades of evidence into how human beings change. This evidence is presented in the book Applying the Good Lives and Self-Regulation Models to Sex Offender Treatment, by Pamela Yates, David Prescott, and Tony Ward (originator of the Good Lives Model).

Research has shown that the programs with the strongest evidence basis are those that adhere to the indisputably most important principles of correctional rehabilitation: the principles of risk, need, and responsivity (See RNR Principles in Practice). What makes the GLM special is that it is an entire framework that can operationalize these principles.
