I find that when you have a conversation you sometimes miss key points and medical-legal- you have to cover certain things, to make something, an assessment, and so I always try to have it structured.
What if understanding addiction meant looking beyond just the symptoms? In this episode of 'Captain Hooked: The Addiction Project', Dr. Wiplove Lamba and Jean-Paul Michael introduce listeners to the perspectives approach to psychiatry, developed at John Hopkins by McHugh and Slavney. This method breaks down patient understanding into four key areas: disease, dimensional, behavior, and life story.
Each quadrant offers a different lens through which to view a person's struggles, making it easier to tailor treatment plans that truly fit their needs. Dr. Lamba and JP discuss how this holistic approach provides a richer understanding than a standard DSM diagnosis alone, and how it can be a valuable tool in addiction treatment. They dive into real-world applications, sharing insights from their own clinical practices.
If you're curious about innovative ways to approach addiction psychiatry or looking for strategies that consider the whole person, this episode is a must-listen.
