Seeing the harm to happiness: Integrating satisfaction with life into restorative practices

This article proposes an approach to intervening in harms that is based on the integration of positive psychology and restorative justice. We begin by reviewing the importance of interpersonal relationships to restorative justice. Next, we discuss harms as viewed in restorative justice. We then explore the concept and language of happiness through models of satisfaction with life (SWL) from positive psychology. We end the paper by proposing the integration of models of SWL into the practices of restorative dialogue and the development of restoration plans.
