The positive psychology movement has given us new ways to conceptualize behavior. However, little research has been conducted examining the benefits of promoting the development of positive characteristics such as gratitude and love as part of treatment. To address this gap, the present article describes the implementation of a group therapy program grounded in Contemplative Discovery Pathway Theory (CDPT). The innovative program, “The Family”, focuses on the discovery process to resocialize a sample of community members from the Bahamas. We conclude with a case vignette and recommendations for future research directions.
