Stanton Peele on addiction, recovery, and breaking the disease model
Manage episode 447022648 series 3541942
Stanton Peele began working on Love and Addiction in 1970, which was then published in 1975. In these fifty years he has predicted a remarkable number of addiction trends. By now it is clear that the way in which Stanton has reframed addiction for the past four decades – sometimes facing extreme opposition – has been prescient. His central thesis has always been that addiction is not a consequence of taking drugs and drinking; rather, addiction arises from the way in which these and other compelling activities fit into people’s lives and meanings.
